I first learned the name Giani Versace at 14 years old I was in Miami staring at the front steps of his mansion and I
00:00:08
had no idea what the world had lost my name is Shaheen Toki and I'm a production associate at 48
00:00:18
hours for some it's about his creative genius Versace inov himself was a world-renowned designer and when he came
00:00:27
to Miami in the 9s and took residence here in '92 he brought with him his entire world of fabulosity for others it
00:00:37
was the woman he created the where would resonate the following I am confident I
00:00:43
have tremendous self-esteem I am not shy or retiring when it comes to my apparel
00:00:49
and quite frankly I want the world to look at me and say she's stunning a fashion icon whose creative genius
00:00:57
represented wealth and extravagance the more I learned about Giani versace's murder the more I wondered did his Fame
00:01:06
and Fortune attract his killer who was Andrew kunanon so Andrew may have been a a five and average six looking but he
00:01:16
was a 15 when it came to manipulation and brains on the outside kunanon presented
00:01:23
himself as a worldly man with money and status in reality he he was a College Dropout who lived off other men and then
00:01:33
murdered a fashion icon and I think he just thought take him out and the world will know me they'll know who Andrew
00:01:41
Canan was forever and it came true now 20 years later we're still talking about Andrew Canan and the sad thing is that
00:01:52
while Versace was a bright light in our community um Andrew was a dark light we will always be left with Giani versace's
00:02:02
glimmering light like former Project Runway contestant lyana agular who is still
00:02:09
inspired by Giani Versace the number one thing was how when I looked at his women
00:02:15
they looked like superheroes they were so powerful and I saw that he was taking inspiration from the streets uh he was
00:02:25
the one bringing street style into high fashion Giani Versace was a Visionary who was
00:02:33
not afraid to bring Art Pop Culture and fashion together in his Creations so what do you think of when you hear the
00:02:41
name Giani Versace
