Gianni Versace exhibition to feature pieces worn by Princess Diana and Kate Moss
A retrospective exhibition of the work of Gianni Versace is to feature 450 items from the fashion designer's career, including clothes worn by Princess Diana, Kate Moss and Sir Elton John.
The Gianni Versace Retrospective, held at Arches London Bridge, will also feature pieces worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell, George Michael and Liz Hurley, many of which have never been displayed before, when it opens on July 16.
It will also look at the way Versace's work was inspired by London, and Versace's friendship's with Sir Elton and Diana, with 21 collections from Spring/Summer 1988 to Autumn/Winter 1997-1998 on display.
Liz Koravos, managing director of Arches London Bridge, said: 'Arches London Bridge is delighted to host this opulent journey through the life and career of Gianni Versace.
'As a genius of his time, it's fascinating to see these incredible collections assembled under the curved arches of the venue.
'Gianni Versace ties to so much in modern culture and his legacy is enduring, a mark of a talented designer.
'Versace was a pioneer in collaborative art, something that is commonplace these days. The crossover between fashion, music, pop culture, fine art, antiquities, sculpture and the rise of the supermodel is all encapsulated in his work.
'The biggest collection of vintage Versace to ever visit the UK will give visitors a kaleidoscopic view of the 90s. It's not to be missed.'
Tickets will go on general sale on May 21, with a pre-sale being held beforehand.
Versace was murdered in 1997, leaving his sister Donatella to shape the brand's modern identity. She stepped down from her role as chief creative officer in March this year, being replaced by Dario Vitale.
In recent years the brand has created designs beloved by the likes of Dua Lipa, Angelina Jolie and Sabrina Carpenter.

Boots knocks 50% off designer scent dads wear 'all the time'
'My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice' Boots shopper are snapping up a half price fragrance in time for Father's Day and it has rave reviews. Jimmy Choo Man Blue is usually £78 a bottle but has dropped down to £39 for a 100ml bottle. It opens up with notes of lavender, black pepper, clary sage and bergamot before settling into a heart of ambergris, leather, cypress, apple and pineapple. There's a warm base of vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. It's a great option for fans of Eros by Versace (£39.99 for 30ml) who are looking for a slightly better value product.

Man Blue has brought in an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 100 reviews, with 98% of shoppers saying that they would recommend it. One wrote: "This is by far my favourite scent whether it be for everyday use or special occasion. This is gonna be my signature scent! This one was love at first sniff." Another swears it's a compliment magnet, writing: "This perfume is fantastic! It has the perfect combo of sweet and spicy scent. I've worn it several times now and I get at least 3 compliments every time! Highly recommend!" A disappointed shopper found the longevity lacking, penning: "I want to love it. It has a great scent. It's on par for what I like. My biggest gripe is that it fades fast. I out this on around 8am and by noon you can barely tell. Unlike the others I have that last all day. If it lasted longer I give it five stars."

For those looking for a more impressive finish we would advise spraying each pulse point at least once.

My dad liked it so much I gave what was left to him and he wears all the time. So nice!"

It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish. The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house.

Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else remarked: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money." The longevity and less intense nature of the fragrance have been mentioned as a couple of drawbacks, with one three-star review read: "Decent scent once you get accustomed to it. Longevity is somewhat disappointing, given the price and brand." By comparison, someone praising the longevity said: "Pleasant, not overpowering smell. Found it lasts longer than many others i have tried. I really like it."

Where to shop all of Maya Jama's 2025 Love Island outfits
Maya Jama is already stealing the show with her Love Island looks, and we've found exactly where to shop them plus a few affordable alternatives The new season of Love Island is officially underway, and all eyes are focused on what Maya Jama is going to wear next. The presenter always kills the fashion game, so we're not surprised to see her serving up (just a few!) amazing looks in the first episode. With an expected eight week run of the show, we can't wait to see what looks Maya turns out, and we've done all the hard work by finding out exactly where the looks are from, plus where you can shop some more affordable alternatives. From vintage Versace to statement shell jewellery and dark summer florals, check out where to shop Maya's outfits from the launch episode. Black floral dress Making her first appearance into the Love Island villa, Maya rocked a black foral midi dress teamed with a pair of statement colourful earrings. The exact dress is 2004 Roberto Cavalli, and is the perfect combintation of feminine and sexy, something Maya always nails. If you want to channel the look for a little less, and in something a little more wearable, we've found a floral alternative from Nobody's Child that's currently on sale from £65 to £52. Versace promo look Sporting a vintage Versace look (which is unfortunately not availabel for purchase), Maya kicked off the new series aboard a luxury yacht on the Med, and to fit into the sea theme, she teamed a pair of stunning gold shell drop earrings with her Versace outfit. We have found the exact pair, but they will set you back over £500. The pair in question are the Chloé Shells drop earrings, priced at £550. Shell jewellery is arguably the biggest accessory trend of the summer so it's no suprise to see someone as stylish as Maya rocking this look.
