Versace. The Autobiography of an Italian Family

Gianni Versace is a world-renowned 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. Versace worked with Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell, elevating... them to the status of supermodels. He was friends with Elton John, Sting, and Princess Diana. However, the resounding success of Gianni Versace is not solely due to his genius but also the talent of his older brother Santo. Santo Versace, a certified economist and politician, abandoned his career to help Gianni create the fashion house — and subsequently submerged himself in the world of luxury, glamour, incredible highs, lows, and drama. Santo Versace's book is an autobiography of a family from the world of fashion, narrating the establishment 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.
