Gianni Versace’s bold and sensual designs were criticized as well as praised for their flamboyance, but they made him a powerful force in fashion design during the 1980s and 1990s. The designer’s fascination with popular culture, art, and celebrity is evident in this suit, which features an Andy Warhol print bearing the portraits of actors James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.
