A truly exceptional, museum worthy Gianni Versace crystal beaded seashell silk print hourglass gown dating back to his epic 1992 spring/summer collection. This incredibly rare dress was runway look 50 modeled by the striking Yasmeen Ghauri. This highly documented piece was a key look from the collection, and fashion publications from around the world featured supermodels such as Stephanie Seymour, Shana Zhandrick, and Nadège du Bospertus in the dress. We were also thrilled to find the original 1992 June Vogue magazine editorial 'From the Sea' which features this maxi dress. This iconic collection goes down in history as one of Gianni Versace’s most recognizable runways, where he launched his 'Signature' line of printed silks
. So recognizable, in fact, that Donatella Versace recreated a version of this gown for her spring/summer 2018 tribute show, commemorating the 20th anniversary of her brother Gianni’s death.

Versace was always looking ahead to fashion’s future and this season was all about “chic and shock”, as he put it. This gown perfectly represents that sentiment. Made from a mid-weight silk crepe, the cream printed fabric feels luxurious against the body and compliments the hourglass silhouette. The intricate, fully beaded bustier is the real showstopper. Sparkling from every angle, the ruby red bejeweled glass bead breast cups and straps in the form of gold rhinestone sea anemones and crystal starfish go completely around the bust. This complex workmanship is so whimsical; truly next level artistry. The sea life motif continues down the entire silhouette, hugging the body in a spectacle of gold shells and starfish. There's a small slit in the back of the hourglass skirt, allowing for movement and ensuring this gown is not only a statement piece but a wearable work of art. A truly spectacular lifetime Gianni Versace archival gown that would make an unforgettable red carpet look or an epic statement at a summer soirée.

This well documented 1992 Gianni Versace runway gown is in beautiful condition with no fade, rips or alterations.

Long Halloween Prequel
Format: Paperback
We can see here the first try of what would become a legendary duo for Batman, and it's a very decent one. These 3 stories are inspired by 3 different themes: Fear, Madness, and Ghosts. Personally, Madness was the best one; I've always found the Mad Hatter e very curious villain in this world and the tie-in to Bruce's childhood is a nice feat. The Ghosts story feels very rushed once the second spirit visits (Joker), so it lacks depth in the analysis it's trying to do emulating 'A Christmas Carol'.

Just Classic Batman!
Format: Kindle
I don't think I have read these tales in about 20 years. I miss Jeph Loeb on Batman. While I think he put a great spin on Superman, Loeb set the foundation for all of the visual medium for Batman. This collection of three one-shots gives us good Scarecrow and Mad Hatter Halloween stories. My favorite was the final story with a retelling of A Christmas Carol but Halloween and Batman.
