Gianni Versace founded his house in Milan in 1978 and built it into one of the defining labels of the 1980s and 1990s, with baroque and Medusa prints, printed silk shirts, leather, metal mesh and a glamorous, body conscious cut. The lines included Gianni Versace Couture, Versus and Istante. After his death in 1997 his sister Donatella Versace led the house until 2025.

The AKAIBU archive concentrates on the Gianni Versace years of the 1980s and 1990s, with pieces from Spring Summer 1996 and Spring Summer 1998. It includes printed silk shirts with Medusa, dragon and geometric motifs, embroidered pieces, leather and zip details, knitwear, skirts and trousers, dresses, footwear and couture labelled pieces.

Gianni Versace pieces carry the labels of their line and period, including Gianni Versace Couture, and are made in Italy. We state the season in each listing when it can be confirmed.
