Gianni Versace

Background/Story

Versace’s classic logo is the head of Medusa, a Greek woman transformed into a monster by the goddess Athena for a lustful sin.  Her beautiful hair was turned into horrible black snakes and anyone who looked at her would be turned to stone.  Versace created the logo because he believed his designs would stun people with their absolute beauty.

Versace molded pictorial Medusa of clear plastic with white metal border rim.  1”
