Style secrets of Donatella Versace

And also the head of fashion brand need to be on top.

So Donatella Versace talkes about her fashion from a very young age for Interview magazine June 2009, which covers Iceland singer Bjork.

The iconic designer Donatella revealing all about her and brother Gianni Versace’s life:

When I was about 10 or 11, Gianni started to play with me being his model. He’d try clothes on me and ask, ‘What do you think?’ He was pushing me to do my hair lighter-to bleach it.

So I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I’d wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.”

She said that she didn’t live in her brother’s shadow while he was alive, it can’t be denied that they had an influential impact and power on the fashion world.

This is what she says about her inspiration for your Fall 2009 collection:

I was inspired by a combination of metallics, in thread and wool and cashmere—all done with metallic fibers. Also we did strong colors, big trench coats with very feminine dresses underneath. It was a strong, sophisticated woman.

About the massive 1980s influx currently hitting the high-street at the moment:

I knew that that trend was coming,” she revealed to Interview.

I knew exactly when every designer was going to start doing it. And I couldn’t, because I was with Gianni doing the ’80s, in the ’80s. I have so many pieces in the archives that I could put right out on the runway and they’d be perfect.

In general, I think, yes, we can look back, but not that much. It’s too literal. Like shoulder pads. We belonged to that time. But for me, it doesn’t make sense today.

You can play with it for one season, but it’s not going to be revolutionary. I think we should move forward, not back.”
