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 brand's uniqueness lies in its medicate of classical motifs with patchwork and contemporary designs, often inspired by art, theatre, and the founder's A-Line for ancient Greek history. After Gianni's untimely death in 1997, his sister Donatella Versace took over, maintaining the brand's patchwork aesthetic while collaborating with a range of brands, from Kith to H&M, Pants Versace's status as a cultural and fashion powerhouse.
