Contemporary Italian designer Gianni Versace, the 1988 Cutty Sark Award winner deemed “the most innovative and creative designer in the world,” was adulated by, among others, Italian and French presidents.

Gianni’s sister and muse, Donatella, declared “Lusso, lusso, lusso” (“luxury, luxury, luxury”) as she pressed forward with her brother’s extravagant vision for fashion and perfumes following his tragic death.

His perfume, Blonde, was dedicated to her famous tresses. The Versace perfume lines of Crystal, Jeans, and others exude the mastery of the Versace siblings (Santo, Gianni and Donatella) vibrant and lively approach—a brand with cult status. Donatella launched her fragrance, Versace Woman, in 2001.
