Back in 1995, when they were developing the first Judge Dredd movie starring Sylvester Stallone, fashion designer Gianni Versace sent some sketches to the film production. Prop Bay put the scans online.
Prop Bay doesn't give a history, but gives these notes: "This concept was discarded and not used. On the back of one of the drawings is Versace stamp. This is one of the few non-fashion lines Versace did."
It's easy to look back in hindsight and laugh. So, I will.

What do you think of the illustrations? Would the movie have hit with Versace's designs?
About the Author
I have to say I'm surprised those are Versace's. If you hadn't told me, I would've thought they were sketches by a sixteen year old high school student. The torso is too elongated, and the design is focused on the codpiece too much
