Gianni Versace S.r.l.

 (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒanni verˈsaːtʃe]),[a] usually referred to simply as Versace, is an


Italian luxury fashion company and trade name founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. The main collection of the brand
is Versace, which produces upmarket Italian-made ready-to-wear and leather accessories. The Versace logo is the
head of Medusa, a Greek mythological figure. The logo came from the floor of ruins in the area of Reggio
Calabria that the Versace siblings played in as children. Gianni Versace chose Medusa as the logo because she
made people fall in love with her and they had no way back. He hoped his company would have the same effect on
people and on those who wore his clothes and shoes.
The Versace brand is known for its innovative designs having symbolic flashy prints and bright colors but with style.
