Versace Styles Inspired by the 90s
Structured power suits, a well-balanced blend of black and leopard print, gold-plated everything and slightly provocative leather; 90s fashion was a revival of luxury merged with sexy sophistication and sharp tailoring. In the era of supermodels, grunge and minimalist elegance, there is no denying that fashion in the 90s had an extroverted and confident demeanour.
No other fashion powerhouse of the time matched this energy quite like Versace who arguably redefined fashion's contribution to pop culture. In the height of hip-hop, no one showed more loyalty to Versace than rap icon Notorious B.I.G who was regularly spotted wearing Medusa-embellished thick black frames.

The Versace VE4361
The Versace VE4361 sunglasses evoke the opulent style of the Notorious B.I.G through thick frames and the heritage Medusa symbol adorning the temples. Biggie wore his signature frames in many of his interviews and public appearances, he even wore them in a few of his music videos including the clip for one of his biggest hits, "Hypnotize".
Biggie's infatuation with Versace is well noted, he attended many of the runway shows in Paris and became good friends with Donatella Versace. Biggie bridged the gap between urban style and high fashion and was credited with championing the brand by Donatella herself.
Reminiscent of Versace's Spring 1996 collection comprised of a neon-bright palette of bright greens, oranges, yellows and pinks in monochromatic clothing and sunglasses, the Versace VE4361 sunglasses are also available in eye-catching neon colours.
