A meeting point between the past and the future, the boutique features mosaic floors inspired by Byzantine churches of the Ninth Century, in contrast with perspex walls and shelving that seems to float in mid-air.

To celebrate this opening, artistic director Donatella Versace has designed a limited edition of Palazzo Sultan bags and Palazzo pumps in laminated leather craquelé. The limited edition, embellished with tone sur tone Medusa head, is available in red, white and blue: a tribute to the American color palette.

Each bag within the limited edition will come with a metallic tag inscribed Versace Red, White & Blue.

«I just adore the design concept of the new Versace Stores, which pays tribute to Italy’s cultural heritage. In fulfilling this project Jamie Fobert has created a space in which the new Versace spirit can take flight.

For me the boutique suggests an uninterrupted dialogue between our past and our future, between me and Jamie Fobert and obviously between Versace and our clients”, observes Donatella Versace.
