Biography

Giovanni Maria "Gianni" Versace (Italian: [dʒoˈvanni maˈriːa ˈdʒanni verˈsaːtʃe]; 2 December 1946 – 15 July 1997) was an Italian fashion designer and businessman. He was the founder of Versace, an international luxury-fashion house that produces accessories, fragrances, make-up, home furnishings and clothes. He also designed costumes for theatre and films. As a friend of Eric Clapton, Princess Diana, Whitney Houston, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Madonna, Elton John, Tupac Shakur, Joan Collins and many other celebrities, he was one of the first designers to link fashion to the music world. He and his partner Antonio D'Amico were regulars on the international party scene. The place where he was born and raised, Reggio di Calabria, greatly influenced his career. On 15 July 1997, he was murdered outside his Miami Beach mansion, Casa Casuarina, by spree killer Andrew Cunanan.

Quotes

“Io non sono un disegnatore di moda: sono un sarto. È il mio mestiere. I vestiti li so tagliare e cucire. Non è che lo sappiano fare proprio tutti.”

“Reggio Calabria è il regno dove è cominciata la favola della mia vita: la sartoria di mia madre, la boutique d'Alta Moda. Il luogo dove, da piccolo, cominciai ad apprezzare l'Iliade, l'Odissea, l'Eneide, dove ho cominciato a respirare l'arte della Magna Grecia [...].”

“Tutto ciò che è tabù, nel mio lavoro, va sgominato. Io intendo possedere la moda, scuoiarla viva, tirarle fuori l'anima...”
