Donatella Versace created the Tribute Collection as an homage to her brother and to mark the 20th anniverary of his tragic death. She sent out a parade of looks inspired by Gianni's most emblematic works and did so through music, words, design, and casting. She wanted to celebrate "a genius, an icon, her brother" and pulled his key prints and pieces from archives from 1991-97. This period saw some of Versace's iconic collections: Vogue, Metal Mesh, My Friend Elton, and many, many more remarkable collections.

As mentioned, the collection features 12 of Gianni Versace’s most iconic prints from 1991 -1997. From each of these iconic patterns, Donatella Versace remade and reinterpreted the blouses, square-shouldered jackets, leggings, catsuits, corsets, trenches, mini sheaths, and maxi skirts. She remade a few pieces in their entirety, most she decided to reclaim through her own specifications: more day wear, sharper shoulders, fewer slits.

The Native American print is crafted with a classic print inspired by the American West. The print features feathers, whic are a Native American symbol of trust, honor, and wisdom. This was a motif that first made its appearance at Gianni Versace's 1992 Fall/Winter runway show. It features two internal labels: "NATIVE AMERICANS FW 1992" print name and the "VERSACE TRIBUTE" collection name. This collection is known for having light padding, front golden zip closures, shiny duchesse lining and button lateral pockets.
