The Original Supermodels Reunited For Gianni Versace Tribute in An Epic Fashion Moment

In a fitting tribute to the late Gianni Versace, murdered twenty years ago, his sister and successor Donatella staged the most memorable show of the Spring Summer 2018 Collections season.  Reviving Gianni�s most iconic prints, the �Animalier�, �Baroque�, and �Warhol�s Marilyn Monroe� were applied to new shapes and silhouettes that still stand for powerful women comfortable in their own femininity, every bit as much as Gianni�s designs.

While the styles were updated, Donatella brought back the print on print designs, printed leggings, and bodysuits, which were a trademark of the house back in the eighties and nineties.   Gianni worshipped women and elevated five of his chosen models of the day to, in his words, �Goddess� stature.  In a fashion world first, these same supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, and Carla Bruni were reunited in a stunning tableau wearing golden gowns, before taking to the runway in true supermodel style to George Michael�s �Freedom� in a grand finale. 

This season�s models including Cindy Crawford�s daughter Kaia Gerber showcased today�s designs in a modern, fresh way, bringing Gianni�s glamor and sophistication to a new generation.  Just as the supermodels still reign as industry icons twenty years on, Gianni�s love of women, his luxurious creations, and joy for life are a part of fashion history. 

We�d love to see more of these gorgeous supermodels who are every bit as relevant today as they were twenty years ago. Let�s hope it isn�t another twenty years before they reunite again.  Donatella has carried the torch of the Versace label in her own grand style, while never forgetting where it all began.  With Gianni.
