Having said this, the book doesn’t focus too much on the murder but tells about Gianni Versace’s upbringing, how he got into fashion, developed his empire, and the problem that arose from his death. Hear the names Kate, Naomi, Linda, Christy and Cindy, and one word immediately springs to mind: supers. The members of fashion’s favourite girl gang are not only powerful as a group, they remain as influential as ever as individuals, too. The modelling world’s original movers and shakers, these women’s impact on the industry was such that it is still being felt to this day. The Miss S& M Bondage Collection was a bit controversial, but donning tight-fitting leather and an authoritative look on their faces, the models made the sell.

Born May 2, 1955, in Reggio Calabria, Italy, Donatella was the baby of the Versace family and, as she is quoted as saying, “…the best-dressed girl in the city”. She formed her own style as a teen, dyeing her hair platinum blonde and penning herself very dark eyes. Born Dec. 2, 1946, in Reggio Calabria, Italy, Gianni Versace worked with his mother for years as she made dresses. He grew to adore fashion. Gianni actually fashioned his very first dress at the age of 9, a one-shouldered evening gown. Before then, the Versace logo had consisted of the founder’s name, but in 1993, the Medusa logo was created. Originating in mythology, Medusa could make you fall hopelessly and forever in love. Gianni had hoped that this charm would ring true for Versace, as well, and it did. Gianni Versace Bio
