Top photographers Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, and Herb Ritts interpret Gianni Versace's kaleidoscopic vision of men's fashion. Whether at ease by the sea, or dressed for business in New York or Milan, the Versace man radiates self-assurance and defines contemporary taste. The Versace man - a man without ties - is drawn to Gianni Versace's timeless elegance.
