VERSACE

Giovanni Maria "Gianni" Versace (1946 - 1997) was an Italian fashion designer and founder of Versace fashion house. After opening his Milan boutique in 1978, he became a sensation on the international fashion scene with his vivid colours, bold prints and extremely sexy designs. His aesthetic combined luxurious classicism with overt sexuality; designs that are highly collectable today. In 1997, upon his death, Giovanni's sister Donatella inherited the brand is the current Creative Director.
