A Look Back at Donatella Versace’s Blonde Ambition
More than any plunging jungle-print dress or slit-up-to-there jersey gown, Donatella Versace’s greatest creation is undoubtedly herself. The glossy monograph Versace (Rizzoli) offers an intimate look at her integral role in the company through personal images and essays by friends, including W’s Stefano Tonchi. Take a look back at the ever ice-blonde designer throughout the years, here.
