After the Versace Spring 2010 show I went backstage to speak to Donatella Versace.
She was very happy and excited about her presentation.
It was the same kind of excitement I would expect to see from someone presenting their first collection, so it was great to see that enthusiasm for what you are passionate for never dies.
I was dying to know what was her inspiration behind the collection and the reason why she always modifies her runway pieces when she wears then.
“My body is not a models body, I like to dress for my body.” Which I had always assumed.
Donatella told me that for her Spring 2010 collection she was inspired by Tim Burton’s upcoming film version of Alice in Wonderland.
“I loved the colours, the patterns. It’s how I see Alice in the Versace world, with the fairytale and the prince.”
“I used all the Versace elegance in a modern way, and tried to evoke emotion, because passion is love.”
Later on that evening I was invited to the Versace after show party which was held at the Versace residence.
It was there I saw Janet Jackson with Jermaine Dupri -yes I guess they are back together- and my other heroine Pat MCGrath who is such a sweet person.
