Donatella Versace

You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.

In Italian there is an expression We don't sleep on the fame.

I like perfume and flowers.

I don't like my physique at all.

Gianni created the whole thing. I came later and helped him.

Fashion is not frivolous. I am a businesswoman, a very serious person.

There are too many beautiful and talented women and let's not forget the men to choose from.

She needs a vacation. She's worked so so hard for so many years. She's a young girl and she's a little tired.

A business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality. I look for that special piece that sets the watch apart from the norm. I want to have something unique that differentiates itself with style and glamour.

this fabric existed, but in different colors, darker, masculine -- like black and yellow. So we decided to reprint it in lilac and pink for me.

I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.

Due later this month, Britney Spears' bouncing baby boy (supposedly, that's what she's expecting) will be wrapped in designer duds. According to The Sun, ... her baby will be the trendiest since Madonna's own daughter, Lourdes.

Sometimes big designers are afraid that people won't recognize them if they change that much.
