Fame and Fashion.Jianni Versace

Jianni Versace believed in pushing to the limit. His leathers were sleazy, his dresses fit the body like a wet glove. His clothes eroticized, even prettified men, they imparted a tough edge to women. As a designer he could be titillating, outrageous, bombastic, vulgar, classic, avant-garde and, of course, wildly expensive. He became known as much for the way he presented his fashions – on the runway, in advertising and in lavish “image books”- as for the clothes themselves. His approach was always provocative, irreverent, even shocking.

Versace has made much being a “rock’n’ roll designer”. Certainly he had long made custom stage clothes for his musician friends, from Elton John’s Captain Fantastic look to the Artist Formerly Known as Prince’s satin jackets and snakeskin pants for the Gold Experience Tour.

But Versace’s vision went away beyond that Versace simply loved rock’n’ roll and the freedom that it stood for. His shows were staged like rock’n’ roll shows, with great pounding sountracks. Born in 1946 in the town of RessioCalabra, in Italy, Versace was the son of a dressmaker. Like many other important designers, he learned to make clothes at an early age. He studied architecture but soon became involved in his career.
