Gianni Versace was a pioneering fashion designer, widely recognized for his contributions to the industry during the 1980s and 1990s. Born on December 2, 1946, in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, Versace was immersed in the world of fashion from an early age, thanks to his mother who ran a dressmaking business. His journey began in earnest when he moved to Milan in 1972, where he honed his skills by working with various Italian labels before launching his own women’s ready-to-wear collection in 1978. Versace quickly gained a reputation for his flamboyant designs and luxurious fabrics, which garnered a loyal clientele and established him as a significant force in fashion.
