A small history of the BONDAGE SEXY dress by VERSACE

Gianni Versace was the legendary genius who managed to transform the LBD into a SEX SYMBOL! He incorporated the talent of an artist with the skills of a tailor. As a result, his creations became art pieces with a strong personality, some being at the edge of ostentatiousness. Nevertheless, his dresses were made to openly underline the beautiful shapes of a woman’s figure. The black bondage dress in the sado-maso style presented for the Fall Collection of 1992 has definitively consolidated its reputation as a sexy fashion designer. 

The SEXY DRES's style must be:

- Made of black fabric well-tailored to underline with sex appeal a woman’s figure.

- Have opened cleavage, deep cuts, show off the skin.

- Accessorize with bold golden jewelry, belts, and bottoms. 

- Wear high heels of black or red color.

- Pull of a bold makeup: apply a dark smokey eye or a bold cat eyeliner paired with deep red lips and nail polish. 

- Wear a smooth ponytail or a wet-looking hairstyle.

Which was the key to success for Gianni Versace? – An infinite source of creativity, imagination, and sublime taste, mixed with a good dose of charisma, sustained by a hot southern temperament and good fortune, brought Gianni Versace on top of the fashion Olympus. His dresses were bold, luxurious, erotic, yet always looking stylish, sensual, and sexy. Along with it, he concurred with the most rebel hearts of Hollywood. His name became an international brand. Gianni Versace became the most striking embodiment of the neo-baroque style.

Gianni Versace used to say, that fashion shall make you feel free and help unleash your individuality. He was always looking at people in the crowds to see those who stand out because those are unique and fearless individuals, free of prejudice. 

He chose MEDUSA as the logo of his brand because it symbolizes beauty and danger, fatal charms of the antique Greek mythological creature who could simply paralyze and hypnotize with its beauty. With it, he wanted to represent modern women, fearless women of our times. He became the No. 1 designer who dressed women in the Nineties.  

Sensuality and glam continue being the expressive message of this Fashion House up until today. Although the gran maestro has passed away (in 1997), his work continues to live in the hands of his sister, the talented Donatella Versace. 

We can see the same sensuality and expressiveness today as it was during the work-life of Gianni. One of the most recent “bondage appeal” released by Donatella we enjoyed on the runway of ready-to-wear Fall Collection 2019:
