Versace’s famous logo inspired by Medusa in classic Greek mythology has been in the news lately.

Singer Nicki Minaj pitched up at the Grammys, escorted by a man dressed as the pope, wearing a red cardinal’s robe emblazoned with the Medusa.

Everyone thought it was so unoriginal, as Madonna and Lady Gaga have done Catholic irreverence before and better.

More stylish is the use of the Versace icon in a new sunglass collection at Sunglass Hut.

Using bold colours, modern metal frames and a pattern made up of the Medusa seal, the Versace Medusa Collection is available at selected stores nationwide for R2 390.

“The Medusa symbol represents the singular Versace style across the globe, securing its place as one of the most famous fashion brands in the world,” Sunglass Hut said in a statement.

“In true Versace spirit, this new Medusa collection offers luxury, high-fashion and ultra-indulgence with a twist.”
