VERSACE, SPRING/SUMMER 1991

Gianni Versace had an avid appreciation of art, and furthermore was entranced by The Factory and Andy Warhol’s ability to synthesize art and life into one entity. Versace collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation to create a print in tribute Warhol’s silkscreen prints of Hollywood icons James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. Introduced in Versace’s 1991 POP collection, the leggings are a testament to Versace’s fondness for bold and exuberant prints.
