=== Gianni Versace, the beginning ===
Gianni Versace worked from an early age alongside his mother in the family tailor's shop until 5 February 1972. On that day, he left [[Reggio Calabria]] to move to [[Milan]], where he initially designed collections for Florentine Flowers. Later that year, he collaborated with De Parisini di Santa Margherita, and his name began to circulate in fashion circles.

In 1976, Gianni's older brother, [[Santo Versace]], who had an economics and business degree and an office in [[Messina]], joined him in [[Milan]]. Together with Claudio Luti, they decided to open a company bearing Gianni's name. By March 1978, the first Versace collection was showcased at La Permanente in Milan, garnering great appreciation.
