Important Spring 1997 Gianni Versace Well Documented Runway Dress w Heart Print by Jim Dine designer-maggy-rouff Bust: bias cut 13-16" flatI always love finding original Versace pieces from when Gianni was alive and headed the label. This is a fantastic piece by him whose twin walked the Spring 1997 runway for Look 30 on none other than the great Stella Tennant. A piece in this sane print was chosen for the ad campaign that year and the twin of this dress was a part of the 2001 Versace exhibit. This was the last spring Ready to Wear collection that Versace worked on before his death
