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.

Gisele Bundchen makes a potentially very dangerous move when taking her baby boy for a stroll in Florida
Gisele Bundchen was seen with her newborn baby boy when taking a stroll alone in Florida on Monday. The siren from Brazil had her third child, whom she shares with partner Joaquim Valente, strapped to her chest in a $366 off-white baby carrier from Zeitgeist Spirit. The 44-year-old Versace model also had her dog's black leash tied around her torso in what is called a 'hands-free leash.' Having both her dog and her baby attached to her body could potentially be dangerous if the canine runs off to chase a squirrel and drags their owner down to the ground. The baby could be hurt. 'Hand leashes are better because if something crazy happens she can always let go of the leash,' a fan said on Reddit. Another added, 'She must really trust that dog!' 'Hands-free leashes could very well put the owner at risk of being toppled over or even dragged by a very large or strong dog,' wrote PetMD. 'If your dog tries to chase a cat or a strange dog approaches and a canine confrontation ensues, the baby would be in danger.' The 44-year-old Versace model also had her dog's black leash tied around her torso in what is called a 'hands-free leash.' Having both her dog and her baby attached to her body could potentially be dangerous if the canine runs off to chase a squirrel and drags their owner down to the ground. The baby could be hurt Gisele has not revealed the first name of her third baby, though People claims the middle name is River. Friends told Daily Mail that Gisele has chosen a first name for her boy that is 'close to her heart' with a family tie. One added the boy may be called Van, which is shortened version of Vânia Nonnenmacher, the name of the model's late mother. He could also be called Valdir, after her father, or Pat, a shortened male version of her twin sister's name, Patricia. The Brazilian star also shares son Benjamin, 15, daughter Vivian, 12, and stepson Jack, 17, with ex-husband Tom Brady. This comes after the bombshell posed for the cover of Vogue France in May. The catwalk veteran shared she is 'back in her rhythm' as she posed for her first shoot since welcoming her third child. In an interview with the publication, Gisele shared she's 'very grateful' she was able to spent so much time with her baby boy after giving birth. She said: 'Having my hair and make-up done makes me feel like I'm on vacation: with a baby, the nights are so short that I've hardly brushed my hair in recent months!' Gisele went onto say: 'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my rhythm. As any new mother knows, it's amazing how much sleep or lack of it can change everything! 'Hand leashes are better because if something crazy happens she can always let go of the leash,' a fan said on Reddit. Another added, 'She must really trust that dog!' 'Hands-free leashes could very well put the owner at risk of being toppled over or even dragged by a very large or strong dog,' wrote PetMD 'But then again, I feel really grateful: being able to be at home with my children and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.' Gisele, who began dating Joaquim in June 2023, went added that following her split from husband Tom, she now feels she's become more resilient. The star added: 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and my priorities are clearer. I'm grateful to be where I am. I feel like I've earned it.' In April she posted first snap of her youngest child on Instagram since his February arrival. In the sweet snap, her son's face was nestled into his mother's shoulder and wore an adorable 'I heart Mom' onesie. The post also included a rare snap of Gisele with her children and boyfriend. In the photo, the four shared an embrace whilst the model held her newborn child, whose face was concealed with a red heart emoji. 'I've been quiet over here but very busy living life... Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived. Lately, I've been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.' Gisele was also particularly missing her mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer. 'Today, on Mother's Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it's been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day. 'To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can't describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy mother's day! Sending so much love your way!' In October, Bundchen's pregnancy news was revealed - leaving her ex, Brady, 'stunned' by the revelation. A source recently told how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady. The model informed Tom that she was expecting her first child with Valente shortly after telling their children because she wanted him to hear it from her first rather than through media reports. 'Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him,' said a source. 'She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding,' the insider stated. Both Benjamin and Vivian were 'absolutely thrilled' over the big news, the source also shared.

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."

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."
