Gianni Versace Couture F/W 1998 Silver Oroton Chainmail Corset

Sale price$6,800.00

Condition: VERY GOOD

An absolutely iconic piece from the Fall/Winter 1998 Gianni Versace Couture collection, designed by Donatella Versace. This strapless chainmail corset made its runway debut that season on Naomi Campbell and was later featured in the campaign photographed by Steven Meisel — a defining moment of late 90s Versace glamour.

Constructed entirely from silver Oroton metal mesh, a material patented by Gianni Versace, the top is composed of thousands of tiny interlinked metal discs that create a fluid, liquid-like surface. The lightweight chainmail drapes and moves with the body, catching and reflecting light from every angle. Internally boned and silk-lined for structure and comfort, it holds its sculpted corset shape while maintaining remarkable flexibility.
