Gianni Versace: a Safety Pin Maxi Dress Spring 1994 Gold tone safety pin details to neckline and back, pins gilt with Medusa head detail and some encrusted with crystals, bust lightly padded Condition Grade B Labelled size 40 Footnotes: Gianni Versace's Spring 1994 collection featured a number of gowns with the now-infamous safety pin motif, with Versace reimagining the humble safety pin as a provocative element of high fashion. Elizabeth Hurley wore a daring version of the Safety Pin dress to the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. The look catapulted Hurley into international fame and cemented Versace's reputation for daring, body-conscious design. Today, it endures as one of the most iconic red carpet moments of the 20th century. This is a more modest example on the same theme, and is very similar to Runway Look 95 For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com For further information about this lot please visit the lot listing
