Versace adorned this suit shown on the right with metallic buttons that display his company’s distinctive logo. It features the head of Medusa—a woman from ancient Greek mythology who was transformed into a monster as punishment for her seductive and lustful actions. This made her the ideal heroine for Versace’s unique brand of sexually expressive clothing. Shown with 98.20.7
