The Versace Family Curse: It started with the horrific murder of Gianni Versace, the founder of the collection, back in 1997. Picking up from where her brother left off, Italian design diva Donatella has battled her own issues, most recently checking into rehab for cocaine addiction. Her daughter has also had her share of burdens with a crippling eating disorder.
