Gianni Versace S.p.A., usually referred to as simply Versace, is an Italian fashion company and trade name founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, when the first Versace boutique was opened in Milan’s Via della Spiga. In 1994, the brand gained widespread international coverage due to the black Versace dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley–referred to at the time as “That Dress”–which is said to perhaps be Versace’s best-known creation. After the death of Gianni Versace in 1997, his sister Donatella Versace, formerly vice-president, took over as creative director, while his older brother Santo Versace became CEO. In 2000, the green Versace dress worn by Jennifer Lopez to the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards also gained a lot of media attention and was voted the fifth most iconic dress of all time in 2008 in a Daily Telegraph poll. In February of this year, The Blackstone Group purchased a 20 percent stake in the company for more than $261 million. Headquartered in Milan, Italy, Versace–which has more than 80 boutiques operating worldwide–reported a revenue of more than $596 million last year.
