Gianni Versace - Men Without Ties <--- Helsinki, Finland

[post_card_stories]

 

Back side of the card:




The photograph on the postcard is from the book called  'Men Without Ties'," which was published by Abbeville Press in 1995. The book was co-edited by Gianni Versace and Barry Hannah and featured a series of photographs taken by renowned photographers, including Richard Avedon. The photographs showcased some of Versace's bold and innovative designs for men's fashion. However, specific information about the photograph on the postcard is not available.

The postcard's stamp is noteworthy as well. It belongs to a series of three stamps issued by Posti, the Finnish postal company, in 2018, aimed to raise awareness about climate change issues. The stamps were made using heat-sensitive ink that changes color when being touched. The effect is visible in the picture below (in this case illustrated is the threat of the increased migration to Finland).
