...dashing Dodi was royalty of a different sort. He was the only son of Mohamed al Fayed and his late first wife Samira Khashoggi, sister of Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.

The family members are thoroughly versed in the business. Santo, an accountant by training, is the savvy CEO of the company, and the pineapple-blond Donatella, as vice president and a designer in her own right, has played an increasingly large role in matters of fashion. "Gianni was the genius, but they can still go ahead," says designer Donatella Girombelli, who gave Versace his first job in Milan...
