| Gianni Versace S.p.A., usually
referred to as Versace, is an
Italian clothier founded by
Gianni Versace in 1978. After
Gianni Versace was killed by
Andrew Cunanan on July 15,
1997, his sister Donatella
Versace, formerly
vice-president, stepped in as
creative director of the
designing of Versace and his
older brother Santo Versace
became CEO.
The first Versace boutique was
opened in Milan's Via della
Spiga in 1978, (though the
Versace family are from Reggio
Calabria) and its popularity
was immediate. Versace has
many fans among well-known
celebrities. Elton John has
long been a wearer of Versace,
often featuring custom items
covered in diamonds or
Swarovski crystal. Other
notables fans of the Versace
fashion house are Beyonce,
Elizabeth Hurley, Axl Rose and
the late Princess Diana, who
was offered, but declined,
£1,000,000 to appear on the
catwalk in Versace to
celebrate her divorce from
Prince Charles.
