En savoir plus

Versace is a great Italian fashion house. The brand was created by Gianni Versace, a fashion designer born on December 2, 1946 in Reggio Calabria. This one did his apprenticeship in his mother's sewing workshop.

He then moved to Milan, a large city known at that time for its ready-to-wear businesses, and then became an independent designer.


In 1978, he created his brand by teaming up with his brother Santo, who had become general manager, and his sister Donatella, responsible for advertising campaigns. From there appears the famous logo of the medusa brand, a reference to Greek mythology and the origins of Gianni.

Thereafter, he created his very first collection of exclusively female clothing. His choice of fabrics and his mixes of materials surprised many, with the alliance between silk, embroidery, prints with leather, metals or plastic. He then began to make accessories: scarves, jewelry, bags and more. Then the Versace house decided to open up to other horizons and launched into the world of perfumery.

It was in 1981 that the perfume Gianni Versace Femme, the first perfume from the Versace house, was released. Quickly, the Italian brand was hugely successful, and decided to expand its business to New York, London and Paris. Unfortunately a tragedy occurs on July 15, 1997: Gianni Versace is assassinated in Miami Beach. The Versace house is then upset by this tragedy and the company's economy is reduced. Some time later, Donatella Versace decides to take over the reins of the business, and does her best to restore the business. She gets help from Giancarlo Di Risio, who has become Managing Director.

The brand knows its ups and downs, but that doesn't prevent it from regularly returning to the forefront of the international scene and remaining one of the greatest Italian fashion and perfume houses, continuing to surprise us with great success such as Versace Homme, Dream, Crystal noir, Versus, or the latest novelties Eros Homme and Eros femme or Dylan Blue.
