Here: three vintage Versace ads peeled from the pages of House & Garden, two videos featuring chain-clad gangs of amazonian supermodels (Naomi, Kate, Christy, Linda, Helena...) marching to Metallica and the 4 Non Blondes in '94, one of Gianni's residences, and a partridge in a pear tree... (No, but it's sort of like Christmas, isn't it?)
The image of the interior is Gianni Versace's Miami residence. Evidently, it was a vast departure from his apartment in Milan, the Rizolli palazzo, designed by one of my nearest and dearest anti-decorators— Renzo Mongiardino. I haven't seen this residence, but I'm dying to! Anyone know where I can find it?

July- Thank you! So glad you like it. Lauren
When I see this versace I'm reminded of this boy that i went to high school with, sometimes he would have days where he would come in full character. One of his memorable ones was wearing those silk versace shirt knock offs, gold jewelry, polyester pants, and messed up fake teeth.
H- HAHA! Oh my god, that's fantastic. Maybe he took inspiration from this ad?
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
