Gianni Versace Retrospective

Caramba Culture Live & TF1 Spectacle present:

GIANNI VERSACE RETROSPECTIVE

A flamboyant and visionary figure in international fashion, Gianni Versace left his mark on his era with a bold aesthetic where glamour, sensuality, and baroque opulence converged. From June 5th and throughout summer 2026, Paris, the world capital of fashion, will host at the Musée Maillol the first major French retrospective dedicated to the designer since 1986.

Gianni Versace Retrospective brings together nearly 600 exceptional pieces: original creations and silhouettes, accessories, sketches, decorative objects, photographs, rare videos, and interviews offer a complete panorama of Gianni Versace's work.

In a decidedly pop scenography designed by Nathalie Crinière, the exhibition traces an entire career dedicated to creation and reveals the multiple inspirations that shaped Versace's universe: his beginnings in the family workshop in Calabria, the iconography of the Catholic religion, the inspiration from Greek statuary, Italian Opera, and his fascination with the baroque and its opulent prints.

Already acclaimed in London, Berlin, and Malaga, as well as in several European cities, the exhibition naturally finds its place in Paris today, where fashion asserts itself as an artistic and cultural language in its own right. Its Parisian presentation comes at a particularly symbolic time, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the designer's passing and what would have been his 80th birthday.
