Gianni Versace Black Linen Cocktail Dress with Draped Sash Detail – 1980s Vintage Collectible

A rare and striking vintage Gianni Versace dress, this piece exemplifies the designer’s fearless creativity in the late 1980s–early 1990s. Cut in structured black linen, the dress falls just below the knee with a tailored silhouette that flatters the figure while remaining effortlessly wearable.

The focal point is its dramatic draped sash, sweeping across the bust and around the back in bold contrast fabrics: a paisley-inspired jacquard weave combined with sleek striped silk. This layered detailing creates an asymmetric neckline and sculptural effect, showcasing Versace’s mastery of juxtaposition and architectural form.
