Note du spécialiste

Photographed at the El Mirage dry lakebed in California, Versace, Veiled Dress by Herb Ritts embodies the radiant, West Coast lifestyle and glamour that are emblematic of the artist’s signature style. With the model (Naomi Campbell) enveloped in a sheer veil, the contours of her body and subtle tones of the folding, flowing garment become graphic elements in this theatrical and elegant image.
