VersaceGianni, Santo and Donatella Versace were brought up in Calabria, Italy, by their father and dressmaker mother. Ten years Gianni’s junior, Donatella Versace always played muse to her fashion-mad brother. As she told Vogue in October 1998, by the time she was 11-years-old, she was already dyeing her hair blonde (“Just the front bits – the streaks got bigger and bigger”) and wearing the clothes he designed specially for her.When Gianni relocated to Florence in the mid-Seventies to embark on a career in knitwear design, Donatella found herself plunged into the fashion world alongside him.While studying Italian literature at university, she would visit him in his studio at weekends. After she graduated, she and her brother shared a flat together in Milan. Donatella had planned to work for Gianni as his PR but, when he founded his own company in 1978, he discovered that he valued her more as a muse and critic. In the Eighties, Gianni launched a perfume dedicated to her, Blonde, and gave her own diffusion label, Versus. Donatella finally took the reins of the Versace design house after her brother’s brutal murder outside his South Beach mansion in Miami on 15 July 1997.
