Founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace in Milan, the brand revolutionized fashion with bold colors, baroque prints, and unapologetic sensuality. The iconic Medusa logo—inspired by ancient Greek ruins Gianni saw as a child in Calabria—symbolizes beauty that captivates with no escape. Versace dressed Princess Diana, Madonna, and supermodels in the original 1990s era, creating the “supermodel phenomenon.” After Gianni’s tragic death in 1997, sister Donatella Versace took creative control. In April 2025, Prada acquired Versace for €1.25 billion, and Dario Vitale (formerly Miu Miu) was appointed Chief Creative Officer.
Versace is a Milanese brand born on Via della Spiga in 1978, making Milan the spiritual home for Versace shopping. With 12-22% VAT refunds, a €2,350 Medusa bag becomes €1,833-€2,068 after refund vs $2,750 US—saving $400-$700. Milan boutiques offer exclusive baroque prints and Italian-made pieces unavailable internationally.
