Versace is one of the world's most famous luxury fashion houses. It is proudly Italian and independently owned by the Versace family. It produces luxury goods under the Artistic Direction of Donatella Versace. The key elements, also known as the DNA of the Maison, include leather & studs, Metal Mesh, Color & Print and Baroque Aesthetics. These elements are often inspired by Arts & Artists, Theater & Ballet, and Celebrity Culture. From the beginning, Versace has brought together the worlds of fashion and mythology. This is symbolized by the Versace logo – the head of Medusa – and the repeated interlocking pattern known as the Greek key. The company designs, manufactures, distributes and retails luxury products ranging from the haute couture of Atelier Versace, to prét-à-porter collections, from jewelry to perfumes, from home furnishings to fine porcelain art de la table collections, from watches to interior design projects. Versace operates as a lean organization, developing leadership and excellence with the most talented, extraordinary, world class people.
