Recently I was searching for some dishware and I came across some Versace china. The images of these gilded plates and cups made me realize how fashion can be translated into anything, from the clothes on your back to the plates you eat off of. Fashion is everywhere in our lives and its more in our face than we realize. Gianni Versace started a fashion empire where he created beautiful clothing for the masses but he also provided the world access to his lifestyle by designing this china. We all have seen the beautiful opulence that he lived in from his marble floors to the beautiful murals on the walls in his Miami Beach mansion. But with the design venture of creating this china, Versace not only branded dishware, but he branded his lifestyle. The designs on these plates are beautiful and intricate works of art that make the person dining on them feel as if they are ancient Roman aristocrats. To be able to make a person feel like this while they are eating is a sure sign of a confident and talented designer. The art of Gianni Versace makes a person feel like they are gods, even when they are doing the most primal of acts, eating. Versace made this dish ware so classy and it really inspired me to look at everything with an open mind.
