U nastavku se nalaze 10 zanimljivih cinjenica o Versace - u, koje bi trebalo da procitate pre nego sto pogledate ovu uzbudljivu seriju.

1. Although he loved clothes, art and music, he studied architectural drafting.

    Iako je voleo odecu, umetnost i muziku, studirao je tehnicko crtanje.

2.  He came from designer family; his mother was a dressmaker in Reggio Calabria in Italy where he grew up.

     

    Dolazi iz porodice dizajnera; njegova majka je krojila haljine u Kalabriji u Italiji gde je i odrastao.

3. In 1978, he moved to Milan, established Versace brand and brought his sister Donatella to help him with designs (after his death, she became a creative director) and his brother Santo, who helped him with financials (later he became CEO of the brand).

   1978 seli se u Milano gde osniva Vesace brend i dovodi svoju sestru Donatelu koja mu pomaze oko dizajna (nakon njegove smrti postaje kreativni direktor) i svog brata Santa, koju mu pomaze oko finansija (kasnije preuzima mesto CEO kompanije).

4. He was one of the first desingers to invite celebrities in the front rows instead of rich socialites.

 

    Bio je jedan od prvih dizajnera koji su pozvali u prve redove poznate licnost umesto bogatih socijalista.

5. He designed "that" dress Elizabeth Hurley wore in 1994 for a red carpet premiere of "Four Weddings and a Funeral".

The story behind it, is that Gianni was Hugh Grant's friend so he borrowed the dress as a favor. Little he know it will become one of his most famous designs thanks to the giant gold paperclips that seem to hold the dress together.

  Dizajnirao je "onu" haljinu koju je Elizabeth Hurley nosila 1994. tokom premijere filma " Cetiri Vencanja i Sahrana".

Naime, Djani je bio Hju Grantov prijatelj te mu je pozajmio haljinu kao uslugu, ne sluteci da ce bas ona postati jedna od njegovih najpoznatijih kreacija zahvaljujuci ogromnim spajalicama koje deluje da drze haljinu spojenu.

6. He designed outfits for Elthon John's "The One" tour. 

    Dizajnirao je kostime za "The One" turneju Eltona John - a.

7. He beaten a rare form of inner - ear cancer six months before his death.

    Pobedio je redak oblik raka unutrasnjeg uha sest meseci pre ubistva.

8. 50 percent of the company he left to his niece Allegra who was 11 at the time of his death.

    50 procenata kompanije ostavio je svojoj sestricni Alegri koja je imala 11 godina u vreme njegove smrti.

9. His last show was 9 days before the murder, in Paris, where he represented haute - couture fall/winter collection at the Ritz. Models were dressed in body clinging chain mail and silk jersey gowns.
During the show, there was an argument between Gianni and Donatella about models where the sister wanted Karen Elson to wear the collection's climactic piece: the wedding dress, while the brother thought Karen was too pale for that and wanted Naomi Campbell instead.

   Njegova poslednja revija odrzana je 9 dana pre ubistva, u Parizu, gde je prikazao kolekciju visoke mode za jesen / zima 1997/8 .

Tokom revije, nastala je rasprava izmedju Djanija i Donatele oko modela; ona je zelela da Karen Elson nosi glavnu haljinu kolekcije: vencanicu, dok je on smatrao da je Karen previse bleda za to i zeleo da vidi Naomi Kembel u njoj.

10. Gianni Versace and Andrew Cunanan knew each other;

Even though Andrew was a pathological liar, they did meet in the V.I.P. room of the nightclub Colossus according to multiple withnesses. Other stories are only Andrew's vivid imagination.
    

      Djani Versaci i Endru Kunanan su se poznavali;

Iako je Endru bio patoloski lazov, njih dvoje se jesu upoznali u nocnom klubu Kolosus u V.I.P. delu, sto je potvrdilo vise svedoka. Ostale price su samo plod bujne maste Endrua Kunanana.
