FROM THE ARCHIVE
BELLA
HADID
Bella Hadid wore an archival Versace
to the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
Originally designed by Gianni
Versace for Austrian soprano and
mezzo-soprano, Helga Dernesch, for
a performance of the opera Salomé
at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, 1987,
the strapless gown features a draped
bodice in black georgette and a
panné velvet skirt. A flourish at the
waist is crafted from a stiff taffeta
band and closes at the back.
Artist Werner Bernskoetter created
the original illustration of the design.
