Gianni Versace Spring 1994 Runway Dress (Look 12)

This rare Gianni Versace Couture dress hails from the iconic Spring 1994 runway, where it was modeled by Naomi Campbell as Look 12. A sharp play on masculine tailoring reimagined for the feminine form, the piece captures the collection’s spirit of empowered minimalism with a twist of sensuality.

Cut in a Prince of Wales check wool blend, the sleeveless shift silhouette features wide straps, a square neckline, and a striking double row of fabric-covered buttons running down the front, evoking a tailored double-breasted jacket. The detail anchors the look with structure while keeping it playful and feminine. The dress falls into crisp knife pleats at the hem, balancing precision tailoring with fluid movement. Fully lined in silk, it speaks to Versace’s mastery of construction and finish.

A quintessential example of Gianni Versace’s 1990s vision—streamlined, confident, and innately modern—this archival runway piece is both collectible and endlessly wearable today.
