Versace is an Italian luxury fashion company and trade name founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. The main collection of the brand is Versace, which produces upmarket Italian-made ready-to-wear and leather accessories.

Versace has not wasted any second to capture this market by modifying it’s marketing campaigns to be more exclusive of black models, being a tad bit smarter than its odd racist peers.
