House of Versace

Based on Deborah Ball’s acclaimed book “House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival,” the film delves into the life of Donatella Versace. After the shocking murder of her brother, the legendary designer Gianni Versace (played by Colantoni), at the peak of his career, Donatella is unexpectedly thrust into the role of head designer for his fashion empire. Initially mocked by critics around the globe, she struggles with drug addiction and nearly drives the company to financial ruin. However, with the support of her family, including her daughter Allegra, Aunt Lucia (portrayed by Welch), and brother Santo (played by Feore), Donatella enters rehabilitation to face her challenges. She emerges revitalized, infusing the Versace brand with her unique vision and transforming it into one of the most formidable and influential fashion houses in history.
