A funny thing happened in 1992. Italian designer Gianni Versace came to Miami to visit his sister Donatella, whose then-husband was from nearby Hollywood, Fla. With some time to sightsee, Gianni asked his cabdriver to take him “somewhere good.” He was dropped at the corner of Eighth Street and Ocean Drive. The rest is history.

This past December, the Miami Design District celebrated the lasting Versace legacy with South Beach Stories, an exhibition by Versace and interior designer Sasha Bikoff. Alongside furniture pieces inspired by iconic Versace looks, there was early '90s campaign imagery by photographer Doug Ordway and Versace's original runway designs from the same time period.
