kept the Versace name and empire at the fore-front
of fashion since the untimely death of her brother
Gianni in 1997, never failing to look anything other
than immaculate along the way.

brought up in Reggio di Calabria, Italy, by their
father and dressmaker mother.

4.  Versace Group is one name that
automatically comes to mind when we
think of a big fashion brand and

that.

been a person full of life as she started
accompanying her brother to discos and
nightclubs from the age of 11. With her
creative abilities, she came up with the
idea of using well-known models for the
catwalk shows so that the label would
get good press coverage.

label, Versus which still produces clothes today.

knowledge to help keep the Versace name in the

much instantaneous, due to the fact that her first
line was gifted to her by Gianni. But after his
murder, the Versace empire fell upon hard times. It
was during the rebuilding process that Donatella
showed her other talent - public relations.

public relations giant within the
Versace label and spread its
name throughout Europe and
most of the United States.

friends, Madonna, Christina
Aguilera, Jonathan Rhys Meyers
and Demi Moore, in high esteem
in the Versace advertising
sector, making them and other
A-List celebrities the persona
and image of Versace.

each year, though these days, Donatella is just as
famous for her celebrity entourage and glittering
parties. Regular guests include Sir Elton John, Liz
Hurley, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kate Moss. Even

famous and elite throughout Europe.

and accepted the National Italian American
Foundation’s Fashion Excellence and Friendship awards
on Gianni’s behalf.
