Versace’s Latest Jungle-Print Squalo Sneaker Was Inspired By “That Dress”

Dubbed many names, yet most commonly referred to as ?that dress? ? J.Lo?s eleventh hour fashion decision was a game changer, not only in fashion but in technology. Worn in the early days of social media, it was the overwhelming online demand to re-witness the enchanting jungle dress, that inspired the invention of Google Images.
?People wanted more than just text. This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world?s attention. At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: [a photo of] J.Lo wearing that dress.? ? former Google CEO Eric Schmidt (2015).

As a truly iconic moment which will forever go down in Grammy, fashion and technological history, it?s no wonder Versace continues to pay homage to the show-stealing, sheer V-neck gown, 20 years later.
