What is the Versace Medusa?
1 Answer
The Versace Medusa is the name of the logo used by the Italian luxury house Versace. A powerful figure from Greek mythology, Medusa had poisonous snakes in place of hair on her head, and if you looked into her eyes, you could be turned to stone. The internationally renowned brand’s founder, Gianni Versace, chose the logo because Medusa was irresistible to those who encountered her. The gilt gorgon head famously worked its way into Versace’s personal realm, as well, appearing as a door knocker at his Milan home and throughout his palatial Miami villa.
