Overview

Based on Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Ball's widely-read book"House of Versace: The Untold Story of Guru, Murder, and Survival", the movie brings to light the story of Donatella, who, following the brazen murder of her brother, world-renowned designer Gianni Versace (Colantoni) in the height of his victory, is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight as head designer of his own fashion empire. Initially ridiculed by critics Donatella bankrupts the corporation and falls victim to drug addiction. With the help of her family, including daughter Allegra, Aunt Lucia (Welch) and brother Santo (Feore), she passes rehabilitation to face her allies and soon comes back stronger than ever to re ignite the treasured Versace brand using her own vision and assembles one of the very powerful and influential manner houses ever known.
