Gianni Versace Retrospective Opens in London July 16, 2025

A major exhibition celebrating the legacy of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace will open at Arches London Bridge on July 16, 2025, marking the first and largest retrospective of its kind in the UK. The show will display over 450 original pieces, including iconic outfits worn by figures such as Princess Diana, Elton John, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and George Michael, and will feature the most extensive collection of vintage Versace designs ever shown in the country. The exhibition will also include accessories, personal sketches, photographs, and interviews, offering a comprehensive look at Versace's craftsmanship and influence on '90s fashion and contemporary culture. Updated and expanded for its London debut, the retrospective will span 21 seasons of Versace's work and introduce a special 'Gianni Versace in London' section. This event follows Donatella Versace's recent decision to step down as creative director, with Dario Vitale assuming the role while Donatella remains as an ambassador. Organizers and curators describe the exhibition as a meaningful tribute in one of the world's fashion capitals, highlighting Versace's lasting impact on style and identity.
