Versace founded an international luxury-fashion house producing diverse consumer goods; designed costumes for theatre and film; linked fashion to the music world; used vivid colours, bold prints and sexy cuts as a deliberate contrast to dominant minimalist aesthetics; combined luxurious classicism with overt sexuality, drawing both criticism and praise; rejected conventional notions of good taste and defied fashion rules; drew design inspiration from historical periods including Classicism, Byzantium, the 18th century, and the 1920s–1930s; reimagined historical elements like Ravenna's mosaics and Roman drapery for contemporary fashion; and was born and raised in Reggio di Calabria, with his career spanning 1946–1997.

Nylon

Wallace Carothers · 1935

Nylon is a family of synthetic thermoplastics characterised by amide linkages, melt-processed into fibres, films and moulded shapes. Wallace Carothers made the first one at DuPont in 1935, and women's stockings made it famous. Pure nylon's weaknesses in clothing led to blends with cotton, polyester and spandex, and pure nylon is now rarely used.
