Gianni Versace Vintage Black Silk & Lace Batwing Dress, A/W 1985
Gianni Versace Vintage Black Silk & Lace Batwing Dress, A/W 1985
This iconic A/W 1985 Gianni Versace dress is an extraordinary vintage piece. On the runway, a similar tunic dress was showcased. In the acclaimed Versace Catwalk book, Tim Blanks referred to Versace's creation as "batwing cocoons of Paul Poiret" with the "coup de grace ... evening dresses, draping to bare the back". Offering a graceful, oversized top and fitted waist, this dress features mesmerizing batwing sleeves and Paisley lace accents. A timeless collector's item.
