The last work to be published on Versace before his tragic death, this book illustrates the creations of a designer who achieved the right balance between decorative art and entrepreneurial activity.
[Versace / The prophet of Glamour] The last work to be published on Versace before his tragic death, this book is part of the series dedicated to the protagonists of Italian fashion, that aims to enter the world and the creative logic of each designer, analysing the different ways of conceiving elegance and of living with a true “lifestyle”. As the author of creations that contained within themselves the classicism of the Ancient Greek epoch and the cosmopolitan style of the great metropolises, Versace achieved the right balance between decorative art and entrepreneurial activity.
These pages, with their wealth of images, bring home to the reader Versace’s passion for photography, theatre, music, painting, and art collecting : all of these make up the heritage which the designer has left behind, projecting the fashion house beyond the boundaries of the world of clothing.
