The Versace Tales

Working with the archival team at Versace, Bella and Ella Deberardine, explored the dialogue between garments from Gianni Versace contrasted to those from Donatella Versace. The viewer was meant to come and take one of each, superimposing the translucent garment over the ambassador, creating a new image that visually represented the story just below it.  

Photos from the exhibition, the original stories, the introduction text, and an interview conducted by the Versace team that Bella participated in can be found below. 

Creative direction: Bella Stern & Ella Deberardine
