Gold snake jeans, bondage dresses, silk jodhpurs: More than 100 outfits created by Gianni Versace are going on show in Berlin, some 20 years after the designer's death. Organizers of the "Gianni Versace Retrospective" opening Tuesday at the German capital's Kronprinzenpalais put together the show with contributions from private collectors around the world. Versace's sexy and daring clothes in the 1980s and 1990s made him a favorite among rockers, Hollywood stars and other celebrities. Organizers started out with a "we'll take what we get" approach, but increasingly "thought about what Gianni was, how Gianni thought, what did he want to say" and went looking for specific pieces. Versace had his first exhibition in Berlin in 1994 and, organizers say, had planned to come back to the city — not one of the top traditional fashion centers.
