There is a huge number of designers who create clothes and open their brand. Some of them call the brand by their name or surname. For example - Gianni Versace.
Gianni was born on December 2 in 1946 in Italy in the family of dressmakers. He began his career in his hometown (Calabria) in the atelier of fashionable clothes "Francesca Versace", which his mother owned. There he learned to draw sketches and sew, helping his mother to make clothing.
The designer was also interested in architecture. He visited antique ruins. They inspired the future fashion designer and later became a key topic in the design of his clothes.
His first show took place when he was 22 years old. After it, Gianni became more famous in Italy.

After the death of the designer, his sister Donatella began to manage the company.
