About this collection
A 1982 Versace evening dress in the Met documents the beginning of the house’s sustained metal-mesh experimentation. Gianni Versace and specialist Friedrich Münch refined the material for drape, colour and fashion construction across 1982–84; the exact seasonal presentation represented by the object is not established.
