Without a doubt, Versace is still one of the most respected brands in the fashion industry, just like a couple of decades ago. And hardly anyone dares to challenge the status of the brand as dictating the course of luxury fashion.

When it comes about the loudest brand’s sunglasses models, the highly recognizable shades, which the rapper Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie) worn on stage and beyond spring to mind.

Biggie Medusa frame, named after the East Coast rapper, originally appeared in the nineties and was welcomed by many celebrities, including hip-hop performers.

Biggie was one of the first rappers who attended the shows of the luxury house. Biggie and Donatella had a warm relationship – the designer always spoke lovingly about him.

Signature Versace Medusa Biggie Sunglasses spotlight the rich heritage of the fashion house, inextricably linked to music and pop culture.
A couple of years ago Versace brought the B.I.G.’s sunglasses out of the archives and the thick frame with a bold low-lens shape and wide temples embellished by a gold Medusa medallion was released in black and tortoiseshell colors.

This year an updated interpretation of the original model in addition to traditional colors (black, white, red, tortoiseshell) was released in neon palette: bright shades of pink, orange, yellow and green.
Thus, you can choose from eight original colors of  VE4361 model, which is suitable for creating a bold and distinctive look.
