Why did Donatella inherit Versace?
Donatella inherited Versace in accordance with her brother Gianni's will. The fashion designer left 20% of his company to Donatella while willing 30% to his brother Santo and 50% to his niece Allegra. Santo took over the organization's business operations, while Donatella stepped into the role of creative director. She had previously performed similar duties when Gianni took a leave of absence while battling cancer. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Versace apparel and accessories.
