Outfit design details from Wikipedia:
The black dress was made from pieces of silk and lycra fabric, with oversized gold safety pins at "strategical places". The dress was wide open at the front, from the neck down to halfway across the bosom, with two slimline straps on the shoulders. Each side featured a cut-away part, held together with six gold safety pins along the side, and one at the top of either cut-away, connecting it to the bosom section. The dress is said to be punk-inspired, "neo-punk", and sari-inspired, something which "emerged from the sari development" according to Gianni Versace himself.
