Donatella Versace's Best Quotes
5 life lessons from the queen of glam
September 26th, 2016
Donatella Versace lands on Instagram Stories.
In the wake of her Milanese show, for the first time a fashion designer chronicles her typical day through the times of fitting, runway, backstage, collection's preview and final greetings.
The embodiment of blondness par excellence, the designer uses images to track down her thoughts, revealing job and glamorous moments, leaving the words aside for a moment.
It is exactly the latter, though, and her forthright and passionate statements, which – together with an iconic look and a brilliant career in fashion –have made her a character of global fame. Vogue.com thought so too, and in these MFW days posted a list of the nine Donatella's best quotes. Here are our favorites.
#1 "My style is not that big. I wear heels, tight pants, and I wear diamonds."
#2 "What is comfortable fashion? To be comfortable, that can’t be in the vocabulary of fashion. If you want to be comfortable, stay home in your pajamas."
#3 "For a woman to have credibility, they have to work three times more than a man. I sit on the board of directors, I’m the only woman! And I dress some of the most powerful women in the world. So I think I’m a feminist. I show to women, you can do it."
#4 "I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I’m already thinking glamour."
#5 "Fashion is actually very hard work. [...] But if certain people think of me like a pop star, then the only thing I could do about this is dye my hair black and cut it short maybe.
