Versace

Versace is the bold Italian luxury brand famous for its flashy, Medusa-logoed designs in clothing, accessories, fragrances, and home goods, channeling a rock-star vibe that's all about opulence and sensuality for the fashion-forward crowd. Started by Gianni Versace as a boutique in Milan, it skyrocketed with celebrity endorsements and daring runway shows, surviving tragedy and family drama to become part of Capri Holdings while keeping that signature baroque flair under Donatella Versace's helm.

Versace's strutting the progressive catwalk with DEI councils auditing inclusion like a pre-show fitting, BLM solidarity posts decrying racism while pledging diversity hires that aim to "reflect society," Pride collections turning gold chains rainbow for LGBTQ support, women's empowerment campaigns that feel like feminist flair-ups, and ESG strategies chasing eco-friendly fabrics amid all the jet-set excess.
