Founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, Versace is built on the principle of
freedom — empowering fearless self-expression through every touchpoint,
from fashion, interiors, fragrance, hospitality and more. Its fierce spirit of
independence and progressivism fuels its relationships with the world’s most
influential figures, positioning Versace at the heart of culture. To own and
wear Versace is to embrace a life without inhibition, without prejudice,
accepting of deeply human truths and contradictions: a desire for classicism
and innovative Italian artisanship, strength and sensuality, quietude and the
volume raised to max.
It is a luxury Italian vision with deeply Mediterranean values, committed to
uncompromising quality in its designs for a complete life. Throughout, the
House wields the codes of luxury and classicism to ignite a daring new path,
under the creative direction of Chief Creative Officer Pieter Mulier.
After studying design and architecture, Pieter Mulier was selected by
Raf Simons to work with him at Jil Sander, where he served as Head of
Accessories, Shoes, and Bags, before becoming Design Director at Christian
Dior. He later became Global Creative Director at Calvin Klein and then was
appointed Creative Director of Maison ALAÏA. In February 2026, Mulier
was appointed Chief Creative Officer at Versace.
