Intricate patterns of gold-tone studs, silver beadwork, and rhinestones cover the surface of this ensemble. Versace introduced the use of flashy hardware to fashion, and this particular design evokes a Byzantine extravagance, while alluding to historic codes of power and luxury. Versace’s impudent designs established a new elegance.
