VERSACE CATWALK BOOK (ENGLISH)

There comes a time in life or career when, in order to evolve, it is necessary to draw a line and recognise where you come from. This book is exactly that for me. In this book you will find the soul of Versace. I couldn't be prouder to share it with the world' Donatella Versace.

Founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, the family fashion house soon became a worldwide symbol of high glamour and luxury, dressing the most important personalities of the 1980s and 1990s, from Madonna to Princess Diana. After Gianni Versace's tragic death in 1997, his sister Donatella became the brand's artistic director, leading it into the 21st century and consolidating its legendary status for new generations of fans.

This definitive publication begins with a concise history of the house, followed by brief biographical profiles of Gianni Versace and Donatella Versace, before exploring the collections themselves, arranged chronologically. Each collection is presented with a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully selected catwalk images showing hundreds of garments, details, accessories, beauty looks and spectacular stage designs and, of course, the top models who wore them on the catwalk, from Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer to Jennifer Lopez and Kaia Gerber. The book concludes with a rich reference section, including an extensive index.
