About this title

Synopsis

Gianni Versace's homes--the lakeside villa in Como, the baroque palazzo in Via Gesu, his sun-filled deco fantasy in Miami, and his neoclassical Manhattan touwnhouse--reflect his sensual appreciation of style, comfort, and beauty. Do Not Disturb provides a playful peek behind the closed doors of Versace's homes, as seen through the lens of some of the world's most accomplished photographers, including Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, and Steven Meisel. 650 illustrations, 500 in color.

From the Back Cover

Gianni Versace's unbridled enthusiasm for the baroque finds new expression in Do Not Disturb, his playful peek behind the closed doors of the Versace homes. Versace's Garden of Eden is found at home - be that a stuccoed Ottocento pavilion fronting the Lago di Como, a sumptuous home office in the center of the fashion capital, or an Art Deco pile in South Beach. Versace's Adam and Eve might well be Sylvester Stallone and Claudia Schiffer, modestly shielding themselves from our view with a Gorgon-headed dinner plate. His vision is translated through the lens of the world's most accomplished photographers - Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, and Massimo Listri - and illustrated with a cornucopia of drawings and pastels by Karl Lagerfeld and Gladys Perint Palmer. Sir Roy Strong, a former Director of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, contributes a stunning text to match the visual feast.
