Donatella Versace

Donatella: 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.

Donatella: I would love to dress everyone, but what all these actresses this year have in common is great style, lots of personality and that star quality that makes the red carpet come alive.

Donatella: I go from a full working day to making sure I am home for dinner with my kids. I couldn't do that in a 10cm mini skirt but I am not going to resort to sweatpants and an old t-shirt.

Donatella: My favorite pantsuit is done in cherry color and all this is a very classic fabric with, like, a bustier. Very, very sexy.

Donatella: In my collection, you're not going to see a lot of evening dresses or very dramatic outfits. You're going to see more of a combination of things elegant.

Donatella: I love London--it has so much energy.

Donatella: My inspiration is still rock and roll, but now it's lady rock and roll.
