Men Without Ties

by Barry Hannah (Editor), Richard Martin, Bob Wilson

Sensuous, stylish, decadent, Gianni Versace's kaleidoscopic vision of male beauty and men's fashion is for the first time available in this miniature burst od color, clothing, and artful design.An extraordinary palette, bold patterns, a rich selection of textures, and uncompromising tailoring define the Versace approach to masculine elegance. Along with stellar examples of fashion photography from Avedon, Ritts, and Weber, this small yet lush volume captures some of Versace's best-known clients in his clothes -- Jeremy Irons, Sting, Mickey Rourke, Jeff Bridges, and k. d. lang among them.
