Book Description
Ten years have passed since his tragic death in Miami. Now, the first biography of Gianni Versace tells the distinguished designer's story, through documentary research and in the voices of those who knew him, those who worked with him, and those who were close to him. Versace's was an astonishing trajectory: from Reggio Calabria, deep in provincial southern Italy, to international acclaim in Milan, Paris and New York. It came thanks to his extraordinary double talent: as a great couturier, and as a great communicator. Animated by a restless, insatiable creativity, Versace would have no less than Richard Avedon to photograph his fashion, knew that only supermodels would do to show off his clothes, designed residences fit for no less than kings, created marvelous, imaginative costumes for dance and opera, understood that the sound track of our times could only be rock music. Generous and charismatic, lovable and determined, Gianni Versace always reserved a special place for family, for love, for his friends. Clever, volcanic, hungry for culture and passionate about beauty, Versace gave shape to a dream of modernity distinguished both by lightness and glamor. A dream that the world continues to pursue, and which has already made him a legend. -- From publisher's description.
