Italian luxury label Versace was founded by Gianni Versace in 1978 and soon gained fashion notoriety with standout statement pieces like the black dress, held together with oversized safety pins for Elizabeth Hurley in 1994. The label has long-since been known for its highly eroticised, adventurous design offering. Overt glamour is what Versace does best. Even ready-to-wear collections take on the 'more-is-more' Versace ethos; silk shirts are injected with colour, pattern and print for statement wear even on your off-duty days.
