Arches London Bridge is hosting the UK’s largest-ever exhibition of Gianni Versace’s work, celebrating the designer’s bold legacy from the 1980s to his death in 1997.
First shown in Berlin in 2018, the "Gianni Versace Retrospective" now features 450 iconic items - including clothing, sketches, perfumes, and photos - many worn by British icons like Princess Diana, Elton John, Kate Moss and US rapper Tupac Shakur.
The show highlights Versace’s lasting influence on celebrity culture, fashion collaborations, and his unmistakable creations of the ‘90s.
"We can look back now at the '90s and see how prolific his designs were and how important they were - both culturally and the look of the '90s, but also as an influencer, a craftsman and an artist who was bringing celebrities in, doing collabs like we see every day now," explained Liz Koravos, managing director of Arches London Bridge.
It runs until 1 March 2026.
