Fashion Flashback October 10, 1997, not even three months Gianni Versace's death in front of his Miami mansion. The Versace ss 1998 show took place.
Just before the show began, a ribbon of words was projected across a curtain, first in Italian, then in English, as the audience sat in darkness punctured only by beams of colored laser light. This show is dedicated to our brother Gianni’s love of work and to our entire staff, whose incredible love and devotion was so precious to our brother and means so much to us.
This was the first show without Versace, and the first with his sister and mentee, Donatella at the helm. The audience included Gianni's old rivals, including: Donna Karan Giorgio Armani, Miuccia Prada, and Karl Lager feld. Cher and Boy George, in dark dramatic eye makeup and a tiger- striped hat, were there. Demi Moore took her place in the front row. Madonna's then-new song "Candy Perfume Girl" played as the show began.
