Gianni Versace Retrospective

Caramba Culture Live & TF1 Spectacle present: GIANNI VERSACE RETROSPECTIVE. Flamboyant and visionary figure of international fashion, Gianni Versace left his mark on his era with a bold aesthetic where glamour, sensuality and baroque opulence meet.

From 5 June and throughout the summer of 2026, Paris, the world capital of fashion, hosts at the Musée Maillol the first major French retrospective devoted to the designer since 1986.

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

In a resolutely pop stage design by Nathalie Crinière, the route traces an entire career devoted to creation and reveals the many inspirations that shaped the Versace universe: his beginnings in the family workshop in Calabria, the iconography of the Catholic religion, the influence of Greek statuary, of Italian opera, or his fascination with the baroque and its opulent prints.

Already acclaimed in London, Berlin and Malaga, as well as in several other European cities, the exhibition naturally finds its place in Paris, where fashion asserts itself as an artistic and cultural language in its own right.

The Parisian presentation comes at a particularly symbolic moment, on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the designer's death and what would have been his 80th birthday. Curators: Saskia Lubnow & Karl von der Ahé. Set designer: Nathalie Crinière.
