The Kid Who Invented Versace

Versace is a billion-dollar empire! When it comes to sultry, sensual, and alluring clothing designs, the fashion house hovers right at the top. And all around the world, the words “Versace” symbolizes exquisite, Italian luxury.
Its founder, Gianni Versace, was beloved by many. He was known for bringing vitality and art to the fashion industry and he turned his company into a true lifestyle brand. But all that came to a halt after he met a brutal and tragic end. From then on, his siblings had to take over. And that didn’t entirely go smooth-sailing… Don’t miss this story!

My mother was a Gianni Versace model and then later a designer for him (9 years she spent with him) - she did Luxroix, Gianni, Armani - just all the best Italian designers!!! Francesca Dalma Callado puccini (if you wanted to know)

It's a shame that Gianni was killed by an obsessive maniac 😔After all, thanks to Gianni's creative genius, Versace was born. Donatella also mentions that after her brother died, expectations from her were very high. Nevertheless, I am glad that the brand is still popular today

[@Adriana-vp1rm]

I don't trust her.

[@DylanAsfur]

Donatella has done great with it because she was involved from very early on. I'm worried about what it will become after her 😕

[@void9837]

Super tragic. Famous people need to be warned to avoid regular routines and predictable behaviors. Bankers, doctors, teachers are just as vulnerable. I was stalked by a student at a school where I only worked part time. It was very scary. And the Director of the program knew the student had threatened me and refused to expel her. Praise the Lord I am still here. No thanks to the school administrators.

[@jacknjill3000]

Back in the early 80s, Versace also design for other labels. So did Armani and Claude Montana. I can’t remember the labels but you could tell Versace signature designs. Not to many talk about this and i discover this by just seeing different brands and could tell it was Versace, Armani and Montana.

[@jacknjill3000]

Oh and I’m not talking about , all the different labels Versace started. I think bc he was designing for another label, they didn’t state who was the designer back then. But in the 80s only a few designers were bold enough to design differently and they’re designs stood out. Now I think it’s ok to be bold and avant guard now, but back then it could kill your career bc of lack of support.

[@nativenation11]

WOOOOwww GOOGLE. Amazing that the Versace dress inspired another multibillion dollar conglomerate. Goes to show you inspiration can strike at any moment. Your idea will be a break through. Stay in it Everyone! ❤In Loving Memory of Gianni Versace ❤

It's not Versatsi, it's VersatsΕ!

[@Kolious_Thrace]

First, it’s pronounced Versace not Versacii… The two e they are making the same e sound as is yes. It’s Versace not Versacee like pee! Calabria in southern Italy is a Hellenic colony as many other cities! In general the southern part of Italy is known till today as Magna Grecia🇬🇷 and many Hellenes are living here till today! It’s interesting that even though his family had Italian names like Antonio, Francesca, Fortunata, Santo, Donatella… why they chose the name Gianni for him? Gianni is a Hellenic name (Γιάννης/giánnis) which means John. Also, the emblematic logo of Versace is the head of Medusa, a creature from the Hellenic mythology. Perhaps surrounded by Hellenes and the Hellenic culture of Magna Grecia he learnt from the young age the Hellenic myths and chose the head of Medusa as the logo of his company!

[@ytyoungrichnhigh]

OH MY GOD THIS IS NEWS TO ME

[@tomclark637]

Usually in Italy Gianni is used as the short form of Giovanni, which isn't an Hellenic name.

[@Kolious_Thrace]

@@tomclark637 but Giovanni it’s the name John in Italian right? The Hellenic name is Ιωάννης / Ioànnis In daily conversations it becomes Γιάννης / Giannis. Ioànnis > John in English Ioànnis - Giovanni Giànnis - Gianni. It surprised me that his names sounded so Hellenic compared to the other names of his family!

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a Financial Advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.
