The Assassination of Gianni Versace: Best Fashion Moments
The hit TV series The Assassination of Gianni Versace has been an explosion of visual opulence: colourful rococo prints, medusa heads, studded leather, and general onslaught of golden-accented nineties gaudiness.
For a crime series to be so deeply entrenched in the realm of fashion is rare, and impressive when one considers there was absolutely no involvement or assistance from the House of Versace, with Donatella stating that the show was a 'work of fiction'. Rather, costume designers Lou Eyrich and Alison Leach went about gathering vintage Versace from online re-sellers and meticulously re-creating Gianni's era-defining looks themselves.
The result? A wardrobe so extensive that it had to be stored in warehouses during filming, and so remarkable that we've rounded up our favourite looks below:
Here is the program's reimagining of a night club that many believe it is based on Southbeach's Twist, a famous gay spot which claimed to have caught Andrew Cunanan on security footage a few days before Versace's murder during the trial.
Filled to bursting point with muscular, beautiful men clad in gilded angel wings and the hungry eyes of others as classic eighties pop pumps through their limbs, this scene harnesses the fabulous fashion and outrageous fun of the nineties gay scene.
