As a gift to his sister, Donatella, fashion legend Gianni Versace created VERSUS Versace in 1989 as a diffusion line. Donatella would later close the line in 2005, but revived it in 2009 to feature a capsule collection designed by BoF 500 member Christopher Kane. Versus carries the lion head, parallel to its parent brand's Medusa figure, as a logo, and conducts itself as the younger sibling to Versace, and similarly extravagant, if only a little more edgy.
