Versace is a luxury Italian fashion brand founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace, known for its bold, glamorous designs that fuse classical art motifs with vibrant colors and provocative style. The brand's iconic Medusa logo and extravagant aesthetic have made it a staple in celebrity fashion and pop culture. After Gianni’s death in 1997, his sister Donatella Versace became creative director, modernizing the brand while preserving its distinctive identity.
In 2025, Donatella stepped down and transitioned to the role of Chief Brand Ambassador, with Dario Vitale—formerly of Miu Miu—taking over as Chief Creative Officer. This leadership change followed Versace's acquisition by Prada, marking a new chapter in the brand’s evolution.
