From the hedonistic heyday of early-2000's Versace, this F/W 2003 runway dress epitomises Donatella’s decadent fusion of sensuality and power. Crafted in whisper-light silk chiffon, the piece features a fierce yet feminine leopard-and-rose print, a body-skimming bias cut, soft ruching over the bust and an asymmetrical ruffle hem that rises higher over one leg for that distinctive Versace movement. Slender straps cross over at the back, punctuated by subtle silver-tone hardware clasps - a nod to the house’s love of jewelry-like detailing. Seen on the runway in Milan, this piece captures the aesthetic shift of the early 2000's - sensual yet athletic, opulent yet free-spirited - and comes from one of Donatella Versace’s most collectible collections. Made in Italy.
