Time.news – “I understood that being a woman is the way to understand what women need when they dress. Because I’m also undecided due to the fact that I’m a woman, so I try to make clothes make me feel powerful and protect me from insecurities.”
This is how he describes himself, in dialogue with the Country, Donatella Versacecreative director of the homonymous fashion house, more than 25 years after the death of his brother Gianniafter learning that “what he saw as a weakness was actually a strength,” the paper points out.
“Streetwear is finished. This is not fashion. We need something high and mighty,” she says stylist going back and forth to his Milan office to finalize the details of his new collection.
Il Paìs describes her as follows: “She is dressed in an imposing way, a purple zebra-striped tunic, vinyl trousers of the same color, vertiginous heels”. For the first time in years, “Donatella swapped the Milano Fashion Week con The Angelsespecially the Pacific Design Center di Hollywood, to show his autumn collection there three days before the Oscars ceremony, reports the newspaper, also because “everything started there. I perfectly remember the moment when Gianni said to me: ‘We have to dress the stars because then they’ll trust us’. There was no one who did it, only him,” the sister points out.
In short, Gianni Versace “saw the strategy clearly and told me: ‘We have to be intelligent, reach out to the favorite actors of the moment’. I wanted to go back to that moment of change, above the show itself, and for this I thought I should go back to Los Angeles,” she comments now. “I love Milan, but if I could live anywhere else it would be Los Angeles. The way of thinking there suits me better… Much more liberal”, she points out after announcing the creation of a scholarship dedicated to students LGTBIQ+.
He then reflects: “The red carpet continues to be the most popular form of advertising for us, but it is true that now, with digital technology, we no longer look at celebrities in the same way, as people far from us. Celebrity matters more than ever, but in another way.”
However for Donatella Versace “fortunately, society has also changed. While there is still a long way to go, I think the situation for women is better now. Right now I’m interested in dressing women with strong characters, I’m not interested in how their bodies are. We finally started celebrating them without fear of showing them,” she says. “Currently I’m attracted to people who take care of their lives, who are intelligent, who take care of the personal and the professional field,” she concludes.
