The silhouette of this Versace suit plays on the style of the Chanel wool suit, which by 1990 was an icon of elite status. By combining this recognizably bourgeois ensemble with bright, acid colors and mismatched prints, Versace challenges questions of “good taste” while also creating an undeniably luxurious fashion product.
