Allegra Versace is an Italian heiress and a socialite. She was born to a famous Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace and her model husband, Paul Beck. She grew up in the prestigious fashion family in Milan as a teenager suffering from an eating disorder, anorexia. It contributed greatly to her thin frame as she grew up, due to which she avoided the spotlights and cameras at any cost. She was the niece of Gianni Versace, the founder of the world famous fashion accessories brand Versace. After finishing her early education in Italy, Allegra moved to United States to further her education and to work in the entertainment field, particularly the drama theatres. She was extremely close to her uncle Gianni. When he was shot dead in 1997, Allegra received a trauma which was very hard to recover from and her mother had to seek the help of a counsellor. Upon Gianni’s demise, Allegra became the heiress of 50% of the vast empire established by Gianni, while the remaining share went to her mother and her uncle. Since 2011, Gianni has been an acting director at Gianni Versace S.p.A and has worked in the past as a theatrical designer in New York.
