Description
History of the Model: In the 1980s and 1990s, Gianni Versace imposed opulent, colorful and provocative fashion, mixing antique influences, contemporary art and global cultural references. This “flags” pattern appears in collections around 1991-1992, a period marked by a celebration of multiculturalism and universalism in fashion. These emblematic creations are today among the most sought-after pieces by collectors, testifying to the bold and visionary style of the designer.
Exterior Details: The main fabric is decorated with a regular grid made up of flags in bright colors – red, blue, yellow, white – framed in black. The print extends across the back, sleeves and front, with a side panel and left sleeve featuring a more complex baroque composition, mixing gold medallions, lions, stars and ribbons on a turquoise background. The raised gold buttons bear the aesthetic signature of the house. The cut is fitted, slightly shortened at the waist, offering a clean and structured fall.
Interior Details: The interior is not lined, revealing the reinforced and overlocked seams, which is typical of light cotton jackets from the 90s. The “Gianni Versace” label in black and white with checkerboard frame confirms its authenticity and its production before 1997, the year of the designer’s death.
Product Condition: The jacket is in very good vintage condition. The buttons are all present and functional. No major discoloration or snagging is visible.
Care Instructions: Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the bright colors and structure of the printed cotton. Avoid direct ironing on gold prints to avoid altering their shine. Store the jacket flat or hanging on a rigid hanger to maintain its shape.
Why Choose This Product: This vintage Gianni Versace jacket represents an iconic piece of exuberant 90s style, reflecting an era of stylistic freedom and visual power. Rich in symbols, with a bold print and an assertive cut, it will appeal to lovers of vintage designer fashion looking for a collector’s item of clothing, immediately recognizable and imbued with the heritage of the founder of the house of Versace.
