Marble Head of the Medusa - the icon of the luxury fashion
house VERSACE
Please read carefully:
Below you will find some interesting information about the Medusa design,
the Versace fashion house and its Icon Medusa itself.
While we wish to be clear that this was not directly produced under license by
Versace S.P.A it is however hand made from Italy from Northern white Italian
Composite Marble solids, it is a gorgeous piece to adorn any office or home.
Something many Versace fans would surely love to add to their collection.
It measures 27Cm in Height (large) and weighs a considerable sum, hence shipping
the piece worldwide can be costly though very worthwhile.
The Medusa of VERSACE
The world of the Italian designer Gianni Versace is reflected in the Medusa-
head symbol, that is ornamented in a typically Greek fashion. The choice was
made deliberately. Medusa does not only epitomise beauty - Greek art and
philosophy, however, attributed also a fatal fascination to her. Her beauty is
of a kind that is spell binding and confusing. In Greek mythology Medusa is one
of the three Gorgons. Originally a beautiful virgin, she was turned into a
horrific sight by the goddess Athene - serpents instead of hair, teeth like a
wild boar and lolling tongue – because she had desecrated Athene’s temple by
making love to Poseidon there. She was so terrible to look at that everybody who
regarded her face turned into stone. Finally, she was killed by Perseus, who cut
her head with a sword.
Gianni Versace was born in South Italy – in a landscape known in ancient times
as "Magna Graeca", Great Greece, because of its magnificent cities and states,
that Greek people had founded there a long time ago. The Greek heritage has
lived on in this area, where classical tradition and the union of the unique and
the simple are passed on from father to son, mother to daughter.
Versace has the reputation of anticipating today the fashion of the day after
tomorrow. Gianni Versace in particular, had always taken his inspiration for his
trend-setting designs from this classical heritage. So, Versace’s Medusa remains
fascinating, today, yesterday and tomorrow.
Rosenthal meets Versace – an ingenious union, where nothing but the exceptional
will emerge. Rosenthal contributes international competence within the
conflicting areas of tradition and innovation, the Milan design studio Versace
its idiosyncratic style, unmistakable and expressive, which is famous all over
the world. Together they develop amazingly elegant, luxurious and surprisingly
different table worlds and gift collections – made of precious materials,
elaborately crafted, presented in an extravagant way. Here again, Medusa is the
main topic – as an essential part of product marking and creative bond for
numerous décor worlds.
