Fashion Designers Series #4: Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace was born December 2, 1946 (Sagittarius) and brought up in Reggio Calabria, Italy, by his father and dressmaker mother, Francesca. Gianni began his apprenticeship at a young age, helping his mother find precious stones and gold braid with which to embroider dresses. He studied architecture before moving to Milan at the age of 25 to work in fashion design. In the mid-seventies, his knits drew the attention of head-hunters at Genny and Callaghan. Complice hired him to design their leather and suede collections, and a few years later, encouraged by his success, Versace presented his first signature collection for women at the Palazzo della Permanente Art Museum of Milan. His first menswear collection followed in September of the same year.

Versace was at the peak of his fashion career when, one July morning in the summer of 1997, returning from his ritualistic walk on Ocean Drive, he was gunned down outside his ocean-front mansion in Miami Beach, Florida. His killer is allegedly serial killer Andrew Cunanan, who committed suicide shortly after Versace's murder.
