In 1972, Gianni Versace designed his first collections for Callaghan, Genny, and Complice. In 1978, Versace’s company launched under the name “Gianni Versace Donna,” with the help of Santo Versace. In 1985, the first exhibition in the UK was held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

In 1992, Versace designed the stage costumes and album cover costumes for Elton John. In 1995, the first “Versace Versus” show was held in New York. Donatella Versace created the “Young Versace” line in 1993 and “Versus” line. After Gianni’s death, Donatella is named the creative director of Versace in 1997.

NOTES: This information is directly from the designer’s website, and is a timeline of events in the company’s history. This information would mostly go in the founding of the company, some would go in a possible new section called “spinoff brands” or “collections” or something like that. I would like to add more information about the collaboration with the Lamborghini and helicopter companies.

This article goes into more detail on the Versace Lamborghini. “Only 20 of these ‘fashion’ Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Versace would be built … in fact 10 units of each shade would be made available to the public, complete with Versace keychain and luggage to match.” “This new Murciélago LP640 Roadster Versace is built to order only, finished in a pastel white shade with the classic Versace Greek fret on the door… A series of Versace/Lamborghini accessories was released at the same time, among them a trolley bag, suit carrier, sports bag, as well as a briefcase, suitcase, gloves, driving shoes, belt, wallet, key ring, beauty case, hat and a pair of jeans … all showing a palladium-engraved tag displaying both the Versace and Lamborghini logos … called the ‘LP640 Collection’.”
NOTES: I will not use all of this information provided. I would just like to add a little bit more about the car, and how rare it is as well as the other accessories that were released around the same time.

In 1978, the first women’s collection was shown at the Palazzo de Permanente in Milan, Italy. Also in 1978, Versace opened their first shop for their men’s collection. Versace’s logo is Medusa, a figure in Greek Mythology. The signature look of the Versace women’s gowns are tight fitting, low cut, and with high slits in the skirt. The TV show, Miami Vice, featured Versace Jackets. The Versace Company has always been very particular in their public appearance. They use top-notch photographers and models. They also use the same models featured in their ads on the runway. Versace is named the “Rock and Roll designer” because they have designed outfits for many rock and roll icons, including Michael Jackson, Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen. Versace also designed clothes for the Princess of Wales and Princess Caroline of Monaco. In 1982, Versace expanded into jewelry, accessories, home furnishings, and china. They released a lower priced line called “Istante.” The launch of the “Versus” line was helped by Christopher Kane. In 2008, the first “Versace Home” collection was released. The Palazzo Versace in Dubai Creek off the Persian Gulf is currently under construction.
