Following the O.J. Simpson case in the first season of "American Crime Story", everyone is very much looking forward to the second season, because this real murder occurred on the gorgeous fashion empire Versace
This famous case, fans who pay attention to fashion must know, is about the founder of the Versace brand and the genius designer Gianni Versace.
The picture on the left is the actor Edgar Ramirez in the play, and the picture on the right is Gianni Versace herself, which is a dime for the fan lord who is a little face blind_ (:з"∠)_ ...
In 1997, Gianni Versace, who was at the peak of her career, was shot dead by a "nobody" in front of a mansion in Miami, and the killer shot him in the face with one shot and another directly through the neck...
Although he was quickly sent to the hospital, it was obvious that the murderer was "stable and fierce", the famous fashion celebrity fell, and versace's era also went...
At that time, this case not only caused a sensation in the United States, but also shocked the entire fashion circle. The whole world is paying attention to what kind of grudge has caused such a murderous disaster.
The killer, Andrew Phillip Cunanan, was quickly identified, but the Versace family said they didn't know him or have anything to do with it...

This Andrew, originally a nobody, "main occupation" is to work as a male prostitute.
But before killing Gianni Versace, he was already "little famous", not because of his "business ability", but because he had also killed four people in a row, and was one of the top ten most wanted people in the FBI at that time.
On the 8th day after the murder, Andrew was found by the police, and after more than 4 hours of confrontation, he chose to kill himself as well.
July 23, 1997
As soon as the bullet penetrated the temple, all the causes and consequences, and the motive for killing, also became a mystery.
If "getting rid of the ordinary" was Andrew's dream, he did.
The content of this season is actually mainly around Andrew (Fan Lord is not too much spoiler), but Fan Lord wants to talk about him today, but Versace (• ̀ω • ́) who is "rubbing heat" by him.
----------------- Style Mutation の Dividing Line------------------
Now when it comes to Versace, many people will think of Zhao Benshan, who ran off the line, and Guo Degang, who was greasy...
However, the real Versace is actually sexy, charming, luxurious, especially in the 90s, it was trend-setting, avant-garde, and diao is not good ( • ̀ω • ́ ) ✧ ~
Gianni, as a man standing on the top, is full of legends in himself. At the beginning of the film, a lot of "summaries" were made for his "character characteristics".
▶ The trenches are brightly colored ◀
Gianni Versace, who embraces the empire of fashion, loves the beautiful and the gorgeous, waking up every day from the big mansion on Miami Beach, with clouds and gods on the roof, and flowers and birds and animals on the walls.
Such an early morning does not belong to "mortals".
The "brick by brick" in the room was what he wanted, and even the slippers carried versace's totem.
From the bedroom to the closet, you have to walk through the golden corridor.
Choose a morning robe of your own design that is most temperamental today, such as this little pink, and then go to the balcony and blow a sea breeze
The mansion was purchased by Gianni Versace in 1992 for $3 million and includes the residence as well as the adjacent land. Another $33 million was later spent on additional construction.
The mansion features 35 rooms, 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms (with gold taps), each with a unique theme, full of flowers, full of precious frescoes and mosaic decorations.
Wanting to build an outdoor swimming pool, Gianni Versace also bought the hotel next door and demolished it within a day to build it as soon as possible.
The swimming pool is 16 meters long and is studded with gorgeous mosaics and 24K gold tiles_(:з"∠)_ ...
The mansion, after Gianni's murder, was sold by her sister Donatella to telecommunications businessman Loftin for $20 million, and in 2012, Loftin sold it for $125 million (about 800 million yuan) ...
Originally just for a retirement vacation ("Sanya in China"), Miami Beach became a place of singing and dancing extravagant with the settlement of Gianni Versace.
▶ Undisguised ◀
Gianni Versace is not only bold in design, but also uninhibited in his design, he never hides his sexual orientation, even in the avant-garde fashion circle, he is also a pioneer in public appearance ↓
Rich and talented, you can invite a lot of celebrities, and beautiful boys to play at home, and let the various staff members of the family maintain a high appearance...
This is the character that the murderer Andrew is most envious of.
In order to emphasize this important clue and reflect the characteristics of Gianni Versace's love and flirtation, in the first episode, there are various "added dramas", such as touching the old butler's arm
Before going out, I want to pat the face of the "little fresh meat",
Even walking a corner can pull the young man's hair and "flirt" with his hands.
At night, it is often in and out of the "lively" party, the jubilant atmosphere, and the "meat" is full of flavor
Although he seems to be wandering and doing whatever he wants, Gianni Versace also has a regular partner, meeting Antonio D'Amico in 1982, the two stayed together for more than ten years, and when Gianni had cancer, it was about half a period, until the shooting.
It felt lovely
In his will, he also mentioned giving Antonio $26.000 a month in living expenses and the right to enter any property under his name.
Actor Ricky Martin is very much in the same facial shape as himself
▶ Talented ◀
Versace was once the world's most valuable clothing company, and Gianni Versace is also known as a designer sent by God.
★ A genius teenager in a small town
Gianni Versace was born in a small town in Italy, and because her mother was a tailor, she was very familiar with it from an early age, and at the age of 9, with the help of her mother, she designed and produced her first dress.
In addition to his talent, Gianni Versace also worked hard, studying architecture in Milan at the age of 25, earning his first pot of gold, and then began to devote himself to the fashion business.
Gianni Versace's designs are inspired by ancient civilizations such as Greece, Egypt, and India, so since its inception in 1978, it has used the snake demon Medusa as a symbol to represent a fatal attraction.
A large Medusa logo is also designed in the center of the courtyard, which overlooks it and is full of momentum
★ It is popular with celebrities
Gianni Versace is very good at marketing, and previously participated in fashion shows only by social celebrities, he was the first designer to invite popular stars to watch the show, so his fashion shows are always star-studded and eye-catching.
Celebrities loved Gianni Versace's designs and became friends with him, and his circle of friends included Woody Allen, Springsteen, Madonna, and more.
In addition to these stars, Versace's most heavyweight fans are, of course, Princess Diana. He designed many costumes for Princess Diana, and he was also instrumental in diana's fashion icon image.
The 1997 Harper's Bazaar dress was auctioned off in 2015 for $200,000.
As a good friend for many years, Princess Diana also attended Gianni's funeral at that time, and coincidentally, more than a month later, she also experienced misfortune...
★ Created the "Supermodel"
In the past, fashion catwalks were temporarily hired by fashion companies, and everyone only paid attention to fashion and did not care about models.
Gianni took the lead in collecting excellent and special female models, cultivating and shaping them into vivid images, and "packaged" these models and Versace's fashion to the world
The most seductive female model in his mind is Kate Moss
At that time, Versace was always innovating and always very good at playing
------------------ of the division of the ----------------- feeling
Gianni's death, for Versace, the blow is fatal, but the brand's life did not end there.
Speaking of Versace for nearly 20 years, it is necessary to mention Gianni's sister, Versace's current head Donatella Versace↓
The picture on the left is me, and the right picture is the actor Penélope Cruz
Because of plastic surgery, Donatella is a bit scary now, but when she was young, she was still quite good-looking (๑*◡*๑)~
Versace is a traditional Italian family that values family, and in 1978, after Gianni launched the first women's ready-to-wear collection, the first fashion store opened, invited his brother Santo Versace, who studied business management, to manage.
Later, when developing the first bottle of perfume, he invited his sister Donatella, who was studying at university in Florence, to be a helper. Therefore, Versace's fashion kingdom has always been a family business.
As soon as Donatella came out, the aura was very full
Gianni has always believed in her sister's abilities, and in the play, when he was suffering from cancer, he also told Donatella that if he was gone, she would definitely be able to take over Versace.
In 1996, Versace had sales of nearly $1.1 billion across the group and planned to go public.
However, in the face of her brother's sudden death, Donatella believes that the company should still be in the hands of the family.
The IPO plan was cancelled, and to this day, Versace remains an independent family business.
But today's Versace, although it still has a place in the fashion circle, has lost its former glory, and lost 7.4 million euros in 2016 alone...
Although Donatella is strong, she does not have the talent and talent of her brother, and feels that she can only survive under the aura of the old days.
Donatella and Lady Gaga were not only friends, but also asked her to be an endorsement, and because the two were somewhat similar, they also planned to let Gaga play Donatella at the beginning.
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of Gianni's murder, for which Donatella unveiled the Spring/Summer 2018 collection at the Triennale Museum in Milan as a tribute to "genius, idol, brother".
On the runway, Donatella also found 5 supermodels such as Carla Bruni and Claudia Schiffer who dominated the 90s to walk the show, and they were also popular by Gianni Versace.
This scene is indeed super-flammable~
The 2018 autumn/winter series released last month, opened by supermodel Natalia Vodianova, Fan Main looked at it, the painting style is still a variety of bright prints, but the charm seems to stay in the 90s...
----------- watch the drama の dividing line-------------
Back to the turning point in Versace's fate, the public has not stopped discussing it for more than 20 years.
There are also rumors that Gianni's death is related to the mafia, and as to why Andrew hurt his hand, he may only know it.
And this drama, of course, is also a series of speculations and subjective understanding (the Versace family does not admit the authenticity), it may not give you a truth, but the elaborate picture and the acting skills in place can give you a wonderful story~
