Founded in 1978, Versace is instantly recognizable by the signature Medusa head logo, chosen by founder Gianni Versace for its Greek symbolism. The Italian label is known for its luxe, bold clothing, sneakers, shoes and accessories—think gilding, oversized logos and punchy prints. Since taking over artistic direction, Gianni's sister Donatella Versace has maintained the brand's strong identity, with a renewed vision to give customers the ultimate freedom to express themselves.
Gianni Versace (1946 – 1997) was an Italian fashion designer and founder of Gianni Versace S.pA. (1978), an international fashion house, which produces accessories, fragrances, makeup and home furnishings as well as clothes.
