CD3 - 19 [Gianni Versace]
Gianni Versace was born in 1946 in a town called “Reggio Calabria”. Even when he was a child he loved clothes. When he was 25 he decided to go to Milan and become a fashion designer, and in 1982 he won his first award for being the best designer of women's clothes. He created a new perfume for men called “Versace l'Homme” in 1984. In September 1988 he opened the first “Versace shop” in Madrid, Spain.
In 1995 he organised a party with Elton John to raise money for AIDS patients. At the party he signed copies of his new book, “Men Without Ties”, and gave all the money from the book to charity. On July 15th 1997 Versace was murdered in Miami. Nobody really knows the reason why he was killed. But nine days later a man was found dead on Miami beach. The police believe he was Versace's murderer.
