born in Reggio Calabria, Italy.

HISTORY • Gianni created the Gianni Versace Company in

1978. He involved his siblings Santo and Donatella
who became the brand's muse.

mythology. She made people hopelessly fall in love
with her. This charm worked for Versace too!

which illustrated their ascension to the big league.

company, as their founder, Gianni was murdered in
July 15th, 1997.

unpredictable and extremely
popular.

sensuality, people are able to
steal the show, break the
internet or both.

• Versace's 'Golden Era' is

considered to be the '80s and
'90s.

So, what were they?
