Some facts for those who dont know much:
Gianee Versace December 2, 1946 - July 15, 1997 [font=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Versace was born to a family who owned a tailoring store in Reggio Calabria. As a young boy, he learned to design and make his own clothes. Several of his designs were sold at the family store. Versace's first career success came in 1972, when he was contracted by a company to create a collection. In 1974, his name was seen on his own designs for the first time when he signed with the Complices trademark. In 1978, he opened his first boutique. In 1985, his Instante collection hit the store stands.
Versace was murdered on July 15, 1997, outside his Miami Beach, Florida mansion; Andrew Cunanan, a former lover, became a prime suspect. Cunanan, who was suspected of murdering four others in a killing spree, fled from the police. Ten days later he committed suicide in a houseboat on Miami Beach that was under siege by armed police.
After the death of Gianni Versace, his sister, Donatella Versace, took over his business the family's trademark of using bright colors and designs. Before murder of her brother Gianni, Donatella and Santo Versace maintained secondary jobs in his fashion house. However, after the death of Gianni, Donatella took over the running her brother's business. Currently overseeing the fashion house, she has performed well as the Versace name continues grow. [/font]
