Gianni Versace held his first fashion show in 1978, the Lippstadt, Germany. In 1994 he hosted his first exhibition in Berlin, three years before he was murdered at his home in Miami, Florida. Now, two decades after his murder, the city has rallied together to commemorate the fashion designers life and work in this retrospective.
The curated retrospective in Berlin is set to be the largest exhibition of Gianni Versace life's work. The retrospective is set to include items from private collectors around the globe as well as close relatives, including many famous pieces worn by celebrities such as Madonna, Elton John, Prince as well as models such as Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer. A reproduction of Gianni Versace's bedroom from his Miami house has been remade as part of the exposition which honours the late designers unique and extroverted style, which disrupted the fashion industry.
