Overview
Gianni Versace was the glamorous fashion designer of the 1980s-1990s, the one to whom we owe “That Dress”, the famous black safety-pin dress worn by Liz Hurley, the gold and black Barocco print, and advertising campaigns featuring Madonna. The Musée Maillol (7th arrondissement) presents his most fascinating creations until October 31.
What's it about? One hundred and twenty silhouettes and 600 objects and archives for a total immersion into the world of Gianni Versace! The rooms follow one another, first to discover the fabrics that marked the Italian's work, then the artists who inspired him, before arriving at his creations presented on 99 mannequins and 21 busts. We rediscover Versace, the friend of the stars, by admiring photos of the dresses he designed for Madonna, Elton John, Céline Dion, Prince, and Lady Diana. We also see videos of the fashion shows where the supermodels of the 1990s – Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer – surround the designer. Not to mention the costumes he designed for the shows of Maurice Béjart, William Forsythe, and Roland Petit. The exhibition “Gianni Versace Retrospective”, at the Musée Maillol (7th arrondissement).

Credits: Emma Birski The editorial team's opinion One of Gianni Versace's most famous quotes is inscribed on the walls of the exhibition: “Those who are afraid of colour are afraid of life.” One thing strikes us as we walk through the rooms of the Musée Maillol (7th arrondissement), which has become resolutely pop for the occasion: the Italian, he bit into life with both hands! We knew his baroque prints, his outfits inspired by Orthodox Madonnas or the Medusa head, adopted as the emblem of his fashion house. But what we appreciated even more in this retrospective was discovering the fashion designer's love for Paris. It was in the capital that this son of a modest Italian seamstress became a star e
