Gianni Versace is for me unforgettable , He created the Superbrands together with Super Models .
Before Gianni fashion was Lady like , After with Gianni was fun and R&R .
I remember Giorgio Armani saying " Io vesto le Signore , Gianni veste le Puttane " ..... well Girls want to have fun !!!!
I have a great memory of Gianni Versace from my time in Miami .
Versace South Beach stories a book which is part of the revamp of Miami .
When I arrived there first time at the end of 80 Miami was totally different from now , specially South Beach where main resident were the not so wealthy old pensioners average age over 70 +++ ( but anyway cool old people dressing in vibrant colour clothing , so different from Italy where old people were mostly dressed in black ) building were old and decadent , The Raleigh was virtually the only upscale hotel to stay in South Beach.
Was Miami of "Miami Vice ".
Raleigh Hotel Pool was set for many of Versace pictures, one of the most recognisable Swimming Pool ever !
Gianni Versace found himself on the beach-front boulevard Ocean Drive in 1992. In town to visit his sister Donatella, whose then-husband Paul Beck is from nearby Hollywood, Florida, and to attend the opening of a new Versace boutique in Bal Harbour, he had planned to continue on to Cuba. When he discovered South Beach, he cancelled his trip.
The Villa Casa Casuarina on Ocean Drive was built in 1930 in Mediterranean Revival style, commissioned by architect Alden Freeman. There is a rumor that during construction a time capsule was hidden in one of the walls Gianni fell in love with it , bought it and totally renewed in his signature Baroque Style . The House is now known as Versace Mansion .
To be invited by Gianni at his " Palazzo " was same as been invited from by a King .
Gianni Versace as King of Fashion.
