Through archival material and the confessions of friends and former colleagues, a portrait of a Renaissance designer emerges, a man who never stopped being inspired by his time to create a strictly personal universe of high aesthetics. The director drags us into his vortex and referring to his work underlines that Versace was not only one of the greatest and most influential contemporary designers, but walking on the sharp intersection between classic and modern, he redefined the way we perceive fashion and clothing.
His influence and aesthetic sensibility are unique and enduring in a way that is incomparable. He created a synergy between ancient, classic and modern. Interviews are filmed in his Miami Palazzo, where every single object is a work of art.
Every aspect of Gianni Versace is brought to life, from his birth in the city of Reggio Calabria to building an empire and changing the perception of ‘Made in Italy’.
Two-time Emmy award-winner, Director Salvatore Zannino was an ex-Versace model, giving him access to archive footage and insights that render this a fascinating film of a dynamic genius whose influence endures.
Full of insight from those who knew the iconic ‘Made in Italy’ designer Gianni Versace. Great documentary and beautiful interviews.
