Ginza Store 1st Anniversary Limited Edition Items
The Versace Ginza store, which celebrated its first anniversary on November 23, 2015, is releasing limited edition items to mark the occasion.
The Ginza store, conceived by Donatella Versace in collaboration with British architect Jamie Fobert, spans 430 square meters. Its interior, featuring marble mosaics, brass, and transparent acrylic resin, exudes a luxurious yet contemporary ambiance, showcasing the world of Versace's ready-to-wear and accessories for both women and men.
The limited edition items are accessories crafted from precious leather for both women and men.

Photobook "VERSACE" Featuring Visual History, Including Private Shots, to Be Released
On December 1st (Thursday), the photobook "VERSACE," chronicling the visual history of the globally renowned Italian fashion house Versace, including private shots, will also be released.
After the tragic loss of her brother Gianni Versace in 1997, Donatella Versace, shrouded in an aura of mystery, took the helm of the family-run fashion house's artistic direction. She has firmly established "Versace" as a legendary and iconic luxury brand, solidifying its position in the fashion world as both an artistic director and vice president.
This lavishly illustrated chronicle captures Donatella's interpretation of Versace in the 21st century, alongside her exceptional work as the face of Versace. "VERSACE" compiles exclusive photographs, from archival runway and backstage shots to images from the Versace atelier, accompanied by original essays contributed by esteemed critics such as Maria Luisa Frisa, journalist Tim Blanks, Ingrid Sischy, and others.
© VERSACE by Donatella Versace with Maria Luisa Frisa and Stefano Tonchi, Rizzoli New York, 2016.
Among its highlights are the magnetic energy that defines Versace, conveyed through photographs by Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel, and Mario Testino; images of Versace fashion worn by models such as Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista; and red carpet photos of Hollywood elites adorned in dazzling Versace couture.
