Gianni Versace

And, you know, I've been doing music for a very long time.

So, this was actually gifted to me by Gianni Versace himself.

He designed it.

He did? Uh-huh.

I was talking to Derek Blasberg about her recently because she was the only way.

It was 1030 Saturday mornings that you could turn on and watch 30 minutes of her interviewing Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano and Gianni Versace and whatever.

And that to me, they were my heroes.

Yeah.

Suddenly the use of black was almost offensive and people often preferred muted colors instead.

Sandwiched in between this dichotomy, in 1994 Elizabeth Hurley wore a safety pin dress by Gianni Versace redefining the black dress's sexuality.

Additionally, that same year we saw arguably the most iconic little black dress to exist.

Princess Diana's revenge dress.

All right, so this show made Darren Criss also a star and made him a big friends with Ryan Murphy.

Remember, he would go on to do American Crime Story, the Gianni Versace murder.

I think it was Gianni Versace.

But anyway, I think it was, yeah.

Yeah, Gianni Versace.

But Daring Chris has gone on to be really famous and is in fact one of the most famous people to come out of this show at this point.

I saw him in Happy, maybe Happy Ending, which was about, it was a South Korean musical about artificial intelligence, which was one of the best things I've ever seen.

Again, incredible watch.

Season two is Gianni Versace, who gets shot outside his mansion.

Again, really, really good.

And then the third one is Monica Lewinsky, who was obviously having sexual relations with Bill Clinton at the time.

But she's not even alive.

Well, she was friends with Gianni Versace, so that upsets them.

He's not

alive either.

think

on goldborn road um it's kind of down the road from relic it's a little bit more quiet and sleepier um i walked in with my friend the other day um i think i was kind of doing my usual thing where i kind of do like a visual scan of the room and i'm kind of waiting for something to strike me didn't really see anything but then i heard a guy behind me And the shopkeeper was getting out a jacket and he was saying almost like, oh, this is an old, beautiful Gianni Versace blazer.

And it was as if, you know, I don't know, like I heard someone like saying all of my favorite words.

And they were

Wrestle the man to the floor.

Kind of like, give it to me.

I recently have started collecting more Gianni Versace.

This was his label before it went on to just be Versace.

No, I'm good.

Rest in peace, Gianni Versace.

Jesus Christ.

I'm...

Mythology.

Which of Phorcys and Ceto's three daughters in Greek mythology was chosen by Gianni Versace to represent its fashion brand and its logo, because of her unique combination of beauty and power? This would be Medusa.

That would be Medusa.

And that's your 19th point.

literally before he's born yeah

exactly and this kid who grows up deep in the fallout of the crack epidemic and you know street gang culture he somehow ends up walking a luxury gianni versace runway in milan

it is uh it's wild to think about

it really is and then i mean decades later his handwritten lyrics are literally archived by the library of congress

But then he actually breaches the walls of Eurocentric luxury itself.

Yes, he does.

The text highlights this incredible defining moment in 1996 when the legendary Italian designer Gianni Versace casts him in a runway show in Milan.

This is a monumental cultural pivot.
