Instantly recognisable, bold and unique, Versace sunglasses stay true to its roots, whilst keeping up to date with the latest trends. The brand's iconic symbols include the mythical Medusa and the Greca, which can be seen upon the unmistakable signature style of three recent special projects; The Versace Tribute Collection, The Clans of Versace and Notorious B.I.G.
The Clans of Versace Special Project portrays the inclusive and lively essence of Versace. A mix of energies and different style codes is clearly visible throughout the Versace sunglasses collection, meaning there is a model for every type of wearer. The new Versace VE4360 visor combines street style with the new 3D Medusa and an opaque finish, whilst the Medusa Ares stud acetate VE4358 sunglasses incorporate a cascade of 143 golden studs around the front frame and temples. The main image of the Clans of Versace collection features a cast of fifty-four models including Gigi Hadid, Gisele Fox and Kaia Gerber, making this the longest ever advertising image!
Music is a vital element of the Versace project, and so the notorious B.I.G. model is back with a contemporary twist. Still featuring the iconic 3D Medusa detail on the temples as seen in the music video for hit song "Hypnotize," Versace VE4361 sunglasses symbolise the meeting of Versace and hip-hop. Biggie and Donatella Versace had a close relationship, and the designer credits him for helping to spread the word about Versace sunglasses. More recently, artists such as 2 Chainz and Tyga can be spotted wearing Versace Medusa sunglasses.
The Versace Tribute collection boasts the most iconic looks from the glorious early Nineties. Selected by artistic director Donatella Versace from the brand's rich heritage, this Special Project pays homage to Gianni Versace's legendary styles, whilst reviving symbols from the archive. The Versace Tribute model which has played a starring role on the runway is the acetate, cat eye VE4353 featuring the gold tone Medusa medallion on the temples, designed specifically for this collection.
