Product Description
Product Description
Sensuous, stylish, decadent, Gianni Versace's kaleidoscopic vision of male beauty and men's fashion is for the first time available in this miniature burst od color, clothing, and artful design.
An extraordinary palette, bold patterns, a rich selection of textures, and uncompromising tailoring define the Versace approach to masculine elegance. Along with stellar examples of fashion photography from Avedon, Ritts, and Weber, this small yet lush volume captures some of Versace's best-known clients in his clothes -- Jeremy Irons, Sting, Mickey Rourke, Jeff Bridges, and k. d. lang among them.

Format:Hardcover
was supermodel Marcus Schenkenberg on the cover. That's why I brought it home! But when I opened it up, I was thrilled to see that every photo was marvelous and artful. Kudos and love to the late Versace, who created this brilliant piece of art.

Not Just The Men--The Photographic Inter-Melding
14 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
Okay, the males are stylish and handsome both--possessed of muscles, adorned with Versace's jubilant, expressionistic attire. But there's more expressionism in the photos themselves. I know of no other book where visual images (here, photos) are not just presented 1-2-3 in static procession, but where portions are repeated--echoed later on--blended with following photos--in a creative interweaving which can only be "art" in the definition of "dynamic combination of symmetry or order, and asymmetry or tension." A beach scene appears, then is blended with another scene later. And interblended with the written text, too. Rare is this twin-starring of word and image, plus this permutation-and-combination of images. Only in comics do word and image so vitally interact. So check out this book for its design-artistry, as well as its aesthetic dudes.....

A big MAGNIFICENT book full of real hunks and stallions!
26 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
If you're a female (or well, at least a gay), better brace yourself and get ready for a glossy, eye-filling page after page of the finest young men ever born and bred in the whole world! Those sexy studs are very artfully depicted here in a stylish vein by a very creative fashion designer like Gianni Versace and most of them are quite scantily-clad and some of them even completely naked. A very bold and unconventional piece of art that you can find on any coffee table! Too bad this handsome album is just plain too expensive for me to merely pluck right off a bookstore shelf!
