A garment that combines theatricality and refinement with surprising versatility. This black silk off-the-shoulder top with maxi bows from the “Istante” by Gianni Versace line is a tribute to dynamic femininity, capable of adapting with style to any occasion while blending class and sensuality. The wide ruffle with comfortable side elastic bands leaves the shoulders bare, enhancing femininity, while the short sleeves are crafted in black organza. Adding a dramatic flair to the piece are the two maxi bows applied to the sides, which provide movement and sculptural charm. The fluid, shiny, and impalpable silk wraps the figure with elegance, while the concealed side zip makes it practical to wear. Perfect for special evenings or exclusive events when paired with a long skirt and statement earrings, or for a metropolitan cocktail hour with tailored trousers. A transformative top, designed for the woman who loves to reinvent herself with charm. Istante was a secondary line created by Gianni Versace in the 1980s. This collection was intended to offer more accessible garments than the main Gianni Versace line, while maintaining the maison's unmistakable style.
