Versace: from Gianni to Michael Kors
“I want to be a fashion designer of my time” (Gianni Versace)
1978: the Gianni Versace brand is born. The power and charm of the Medusa, symbol of the brand. In the eighties and nineties it became a miracle for the history of Italian fashion. Not just clothing, but a true stylistic universe. Baroque, prints, references to Greek mythology conquer accessories, furniture and lifestyle, creating an icon of costume and pop culture. In 1997 the designer was murdered and Donatella Versace became the company’s new number one. It proposes glamor, street style, its image. A force of creativity that at the end of September became part of the American group Michael Kors.
And who knows if the new collections will continue to “petrify” the women and men of our time …
