Gianni Versace was born on December 2, 1946 in Reggio di Calabria, Italy. He was a costume designer and production designer, known for Judge Dredd (1995), Showgirls (1995) and The Leading Man (1996). He died on July 15, 1997 in Miami Beach, Florida, USA.
Fifteen years after his untimely death, Versace's lavish Miami Beach (FL) mansion was sold and converted into a 10-suite luxury boutique hotel called "The Villa".
In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better.
I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.
I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body.
