Gianni Versace launched his first clothing line in Milan, Italy, in 1978, and debuted his first couture collection in 1989. He became known for his glamorous styles, producing a range of siren dresses that became his trademark. Gianni Versace was also known for his marketing genius, turning nameless models into international superstars and regularly recruiting celebrities for his campaigns.
Gianni Versace was brutally murdered in 1997, with the exact details of his homicide case still to be determined. Nevertheless, the house Versace is still one of the most well known and admired luxury fashion brands to this day.
Donatella started to work for her brother Gianni in the late 1970s, serving as his muse and adviser. She became the designer for the company’s Versus line in the 1980s. After her brother passed away, she became creative director of the Versace Group. Donatella ensured that Versace shops would be in different fashion centers around the world, particularly Milan and New York. Top celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Madonna have endorsed the company’s collection of clothes, accessories, fragrances and home furnishings.
