Fashion Victim: The Killing Of Versace

The story of Gianni Versace is a story of the late twentieth century's obsession with greed, fame, celebrity and glamour.

Here we encounter a self styled emperor, Gianni, and his nemesis, Andrew Cunanan, a psychotic product of a decadent American dream, waiting in the wings for the dramatic final act: a Mafia style execution on the steps of Versace's Xanadu palace in Miami.This film juxtaposes the rise of a fashion giant from the glamorous world of Paris fashion to the drug-ridden underworld of gay America and a murder that should never have happened.

Antonio D'Amico, Versace's long term lover, and Lazaro Quintana, another close friend, speak for the first time, disclosing an intimate side to Versace's omnipotent personality.Also included is Pete Cunanan, the murderer's father, who is tracked down in the Philippines and provides a key to his son's split personality.
