Aunthentic vintage eyewear designs by one of the most legendary fashion designers in the world.

Vintage and retro glasses

Gianni Versace was an Italian fashion designer and founder of the well known fashion brand Versace. The Versace brand produces fragrances, make-up, home furnishings, clothes and accessies, including Gianni Versace eyewear. Gianni Versace was tragically shot dead in 1997, at the age of 50, on the steps outside his Miami Beach mansion. Today, Gianni Versace eyewear models are considered classic vintage pieces that have an iconic style.

The first iconic pair of Gianni Versace sunglasses that has recently been made famous is the model worn here by Rihanna. This pair is a good example of the classic Gianni Versace eyewear style - thick, black frames adorned with gold decoration on the arms. This pair give Rihanna a classic vintage look, and she has teamed them with many different outfits, highlighting the adaptability of the style.

The second model is this pair worn below by The Notorious B.I.G. (or Biggie Smalls), the famous American rapper, who like Versace, was also killed in 1997. This model is a perfect example of why the designs appeal to men as well as women. The black frames and gold embellishment makes a strong, bold statement in eyewear that can be worn by all.
