The Met Gala 2024 theme entitled, “The Garden of Time,” is inspired by the 1962 short story of the same name by J.G Ballard. The story explores the cycle of creation and destruction, and features a central garden of flowers which can be read as symbolizing preservation and frailty, beauty, youth, and innocence.

Atelier Versace designs reflect this through an overall sense of freshness in their design, where the enduring codes of classic tailoring and inherently Versace designs are perfectly and beautifully executed as if effortlessly made by nature rather than the skilled hands of the Versace Atelier.
