Introduction

People these days pay a lot of attention to what they wear. That’s why we have so many fashion designers for all the different tastes people have. Also since all the people don’t have as much money as the others, not everyone can afford the high quality clothes, or in other words the amount of money you pay for the person’s name on your clothes. So sometimes buying a less popular name brand might be good as well.

Versace

• Gianni was born in Italy in 1946. He developed passion for fashion at an early age. He made clothes at an early age with his mom. He than sold them at his mom’s small tailoring shop. He got additional experience and than opened his own boutique in 1978. Soon his boutiques started to spread all over the world. In 1997 he was killed at his house in Miami, Florida. Afterwards his sister Donatella Versace took over the business.

He prepares himself to move there because France at that time was the fashion capital. There he works with many great designers. In 1960 he returns to Rome and starts his own atelier.
