Donatella Versace




Weekly article from: Donatella Versace: an audience with donatella

Donatella Versace comes from a family of designers with a tradition of producing what has come to be known as “super sexy styles” (Nellis n.d.).
  The Versace family is particularly noted for their penchant for combining super sexy with “rock ‘n’ roll” (Nellis n.d.).   Aside from the family’s influence, Versace is also existing in a market where her brother  Gianni Versace who was murdered in 1997 was remarkably popular and successful.
Be that as it may, Versace is known for her  four divisive lines: less expensive line, the Versace line, accessories and haute couture. Versace’s designed are known by their glaring prints, low cuts and sexuality (Nellis n.d.).  Versace began her designing career as Gianni’s advisor in the mid-seventies.  Versace commenced the design of Versus in the 1980s (Nellis n.d.).  Among Versace’s most famous clientele are Madonna, Elton John, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Elizabeth Hurley, Princess Diana and Christina Aguilera (Nellis n.d.).
Versace is responsible for the induction of the Palazzo Versace located in Australia which is in line with the plan to establish seven such hotels globally.  The Palazzo Versace is a Versace brand and demonstrates the extent of the brand.  All in all, Versace designs for those who exude sleekness, sexiness and have little or no fear of being the focal point of attention.  This style goes hand in hand with the overall Versace design pattern which is virtually aimed at accentuating the body.  This is particularly evidenced by the exposed neckline, slits and mini-skirts. In the final analysis, Versace is part and parcel of  family of designers which has made its mark in designing.  Versace’s talent essentially ensures that the family’s legacy will likely have perpetual life.

  1. Your analysis of the designer is quite detailed! I can understand why she may be newsworthy due to her prominence in the fashion world. I think what would have been even better with your analysis is mentioning the article's layout within the page etc?
