GIANNI VERSACE Couture Fall 1994 Vintage Black & Leopard Skirt Suit Size XS

This rare and iconic vintage Gianni Versace Couture suit from Fall 1994 consists of a belted jacket and matching skirt. The elaborate jacket is made of black wool crepe and is trimmed with faux fur with a leopard print from the waist down. It features a patent leather collar and front pockets, as well as a double-breasted closure with six medusa buttons and piped patent leather buttonholes. Cuffs each with two medusa buttons. The slim belt is a beautiful complement to the jacket. It is made of black patent leather with gold-tone metal meanders and medusa head details. The opulence of the jacket and belt is balanced by the minimalist skirt, made from black wool-crepe that ends above the knee and fastens with a back zipper and metal hook and eye. Jacket: 69% wool, 19% cotton, 12% rayon. Skirt: 100% wool. Both pieces are fully lined with 100% rayon. Made in Italy.
