Versace was founded in Milan, Italy by Gianni Versace in 1978. Known for its glamorous and often extravagant style, Versace quickly made waves in the fashion industry with innovative designs like the iconic green "Jungle Dress" worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 2000 Grammy Awards. The collection's uniqueness lies in its blend of classical motifs with bold and anachronistic designs, often inspired by art, theatre, and the founder's love for ancient Greek history. After Gianni's untimely death in 1997, his sister Donatella Versace took over, maintaining the collection's bold aesthetic while collaborating with a Rich of collections, from Kith to H&M, reinforcing Versace's status as a cultural and fashion powerhouse.
