Versace is an Italian luxury fashion house founded by designer Gianni Versace in 1978. Its current Artistic Director is Donatella Versace.
Gianni Versace was an Italian fashion designer and founder of Versace, an international fashion house, which produces accessories, fragrances, make-up and home furnishings as well as clothes. He also designed costumes for the theatre and films. As a friend of Eric Clapton, Diana, Princess of Wales, Madonna, Elton John, Cher, Sting and many other celebrities, he was the first designer to link fashion to the music world. Openly gay, Versace and his partner Antonio D’Amico were regulars on the international party scene. Versace was murdered outside his Miami Beach home, the former Casa Casuarina now known as “The Villa By Barton G.”, at the age of 50 by spree killer Andrew Cunanan.
Donatella Versace is an Italian fashion designer and current Vice President of the Versace Group, as well as its chief designer. She owns 20% of its entire stock market assets. During the 1980s, Donatella’s brother, Gianni Versace launched a perfume dedicated to her, Blonde, and gave her her own diffusion label, Versus. Donatella took over the label’s design after her brother’s tragic murder and years of feeling like Gianni’s muse.
