The History of Versace: From its Start in Milan to its Place in the Fashion World Today

The House of Versace is one of the leading international fashion design houses. It was founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace in Milan, Italy. The company went public in 2002, and today, Versace designs, manufactures, and markets a range of products under several brands. In addition to Versace, the company also owns several other brands, such as Donatella Versace, Versus Versace, and Versace Home. The company has a long history in retail, and its ascent to prominence may be attributed to the exceptional quality and design of its products.
