Delightfully wonderful example of Gianni Versace’s work,
This is my favorite book on Gianni Versace! It does an excellent job of showing excellent examples of the beautiful embellishments that make Versace what it is…SPECTACULAR. The art work is beautiful and the full color pictures are why this book is on my cofee table. It sums up Versace’s work wonderfully!

|A BEAUTIFUL, BOLD, SOMETIMES BRASH COLLECTION,
Gianni Versace – just the name brings to mind visions of high fashion, haute couture, incredibly beautiful fabrics swishing by on colt-like mannequins with arched eyebrows and the highest cheekbones. Vanitas: Designs is glamour between covers as it presents the designs, ready-to-wear, accessories, jewelry and costumes by Versace.
The almost 300 folio-size, full-page startlingly colorful picturers are accompanied by texts penned by Hamish Bowles, Lady Julia Trevelyan Oman, Andre Leon Talley, and Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti. Quotes by Versace enliven the already quick paced commentary.
The section on embroidery, from buttonholes to ball gowns, features garments decorated with threads of gold and silver, bugle beads, all reflecting Versace’s eye for the imaginatively stunning.
Here is a beautiful, bold, sometimes brash collection of some of the most opulent designs in our world of fashion.

|Versus = authentic product!,
All the reviews saying that the Versus product is a fake don’t know what they’re talking about. The Versace company does not drop prices if they can help it, so they moved their lower-priced fragrances to the Versus label, one that the Versace company owns, in order to not dilute their reputation as a luxury brand. Blue Jeans is an old fragrance, in an old container, that sells at a cheap price. No wonder Versace didn’t want their luxury brand name on it anymore!

|Versace/Versus Blue Jean,
This is truly my signature fragrance, I have been using the colonge for almost 10 years goes great at any time of day. The Versus logo is owned by the Versace label (look it up yourself). Because it is an old fragrance it was moved under the Versus label for their cheaper colognes. Any how still is the same quality and smell as if it still had the versace label.
