Versace: A Designer’s Legacy
Founded by Gianni Versace, the Versace label has become synonymous with a type of Italian high fashion glamour often known for its flashy prints, frequent use of gold and other bold colors. The brand has been influential in the industry since its founding in 1978. Following the death of Gianni Versace in 1997, Donatella Versace took over the brand.
The company was bought by Michael Kors Holdings for more than $2 billion. In the transaction, Michael Kors Holdings rebranded as Capri Holdings. Over the years, Donatella has worked with shoe designers like Salehe Bembury who was the vice president of sneakers and men’s footwear in 2020.
