In July 1997 Gianni Versace had begun his Fall Collection when his life was tragically cut short. It was up to his sister Donatella to bravely pick up the pieces and finish what her beloved brother had started. That October was Gianni's last collection and Donatella's first. It was an end and new beginning...a metamorphosis and change for the Versaces, a metaphor for like itself. At the special invitation of the Versace family, Sante D'Orazio painted a photographic masterpiece of that milestone, both front- and backstage. For a decade the Versace family has kept these cherished images private. However, they are being published now to mark the 10th anniversary of that landmark collection--a fitting tribute to Gianni Versace and his talented and devoted sister Donatella.

This review is from: Gianni and Donatella (Hardcover)
Most of the photographs in this book are similar to the one on the cover. About 2/3 of them are black and white, and a lot of them are out of focus or somewhat abstract. But having said all that, I personally love the photography. It is very artistic, and most of the photos fill almost the full size of the page.
The majority of the photos are of the models either on the runway or backstage. I don't know my models very well, but I know there are quite a few pictures of Kate Moss in the book. You get a good general idea of what a lot of the clothing at the show looked like, but these are not typical fashion runway photographs, so you often don't see the full piece of clothing in the shot. I personally don't mind that, but I mention it because there might be people out there that care. Overall, I like this book quite a bit, and am glad to have it as part of my collection.

This review is from: Gianni and Donatella (Hardcover)
A very well produced, high quality book with interesting photos of a Versace fashion show. While I agree with the other reviewers that some of the depictions in some of photos are questionable value and/or composition, others are very well done and make the book very worthwhile.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gianni and Donatella (Hardcover)
I just got this book, and I didn't know what to expect prior to receiving it. I am a big Versace fan, and thought this bbok would be interesting. Most are very murky. Overall the book is just o'kay, if you must buy this book, purchase it cheaply (as I did, the shipping was way more than the book!) It does have a nice oversize feel to it, but since the photographs are so murky (most are) you can't actually see anything of the collection.
