About Versace Designer Gianni Versace was born on December 2, 1946, in the city of Reggio di Calabria, in southern Italy. At the age of 18, he worked as a salesperson in his mother Francesca’s clothing store. By the age of 22, Versace began designing clothes. A local clothing manufacturer hired him to create a collection that was sold in Francesca Versace’s store. As a result, he became known in Milan, the center of Italian fashion, and soon after received a position as a designer for Florentine Flowers. In 1974, he created and developed his own fashion line—Complice. The success of that line led Versace to create innovative clothing, perfumes, and accessories in the future. His first fragrance, Gianni Versace, was launched in 1992. Other perfumes released under the Versace name include: Versus for Men cologne (in the 1990s), Blonde (in 1995), The Dreamer (the last perfume launched during Gianni’s lifetime), Versace Man (in 2003), Glam, and Crystal Noir (a blockbuster in the perfume industry, in 2004). Versace Man Eau Fraiche and Bright Crystal were launched in 2005. In 2007, the company released Versace by Versace. He brought together the worlds of fashion and entertainment. His shows were major pop culture events. Versace drew inspiration from contemporary street life and films, as well as from art and history. Although he battled cancer, his life was ultimately taken by a serial killer, Andrew Cunanan, on July 15, 1997. Cunanan shot Versace in broad daylight in front of his home in Miami Beach, Florida. Upon his death, his shares (45%) passed to his 11-year-old niece, Allegra. Today, the Versace Group is entirely owned by the Versace family (50% Allegra Beck Versace, 20% Donatella Versace, and 30% Santo Versace).
