Autobiography of an Italian Family

Gianni Versace is a world-famous designer whose name has become synonymous with the world of luxury since the mid-1970s. A genius of fashion, he made women sensual and elegant. Among those who worked with Versace were Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell, whom he elevated to the status of supermodels. He was friends with Elton John, Sting, and Princess Diana. But the resounding success of Gianni Versace is not only due to his genius but also to the talent of his older brother Santo. Santo Versace, a certified economist and politician, abandoned his career to help Gianni create a fashion house—and then he immersed himself in the world of luxury, glamour, incredible highs, lows, and dramas. Santo Versace’s book is an autobiography of a family from the fashion world, telling the story of the development of Gianni Versace’s talent, the incredible success of the fashion house, and the family love that allowed a simple Italian family to conquer the world. This is the first book by a member of the Versace family—about a life spent alongside the genius Gianni. A gift edition with original design, large format, and color illustrations.
