People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
My mother didn't want me to be in fashion. She was in the fashion business, so was my brother, and she thought it was too crazy for me. She wanted me to be married with children, to be independent, yes, but not to have a crazy life.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I love anyone who breaks the rules, and musicians always break the rules - in an aggressive way.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
You can never forget the time you're living in because the past is the past and it will never come back. So to adjust your philosophy and creativity in fashion to the time you're living in is the most important thing.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
During the eighties and nineties, people wanted to be chic, elegant, bourgeois.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I'm a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it's frivolous or superficial, but it's not that way at all. It's actually very hard work.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
It's very important for a brand to have an identity through the years, but it's very important as well to evolve because times change so fast.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I love Alexander McQueen. I like the construction of his suits. I think it's fantastic.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I studied at a university in Florence and finished my degree. My mother was very strict about this recipe: You need to get your degree.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I'm a feminist. I want to fight, but I don't see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don't help each other, especially in fashion.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Plus-sized women shouldn't think of themselves as a size. They should think of themselves as women with rich goals in life. Size doesn't mean, really, anything. You can carry your size with pride and dress in a way that you like.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I've learned how to appreciate what I have. And it's a lot. I'm very lucky.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Many young people don't know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I think my own look makes people think I'm tough, but when they get to know me I'm very different.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
To be Catholic puts a lot of fear in you. It's a great religion, but also one that can limit your experience. You fear experience because everything is a sin.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Scent is very important. Strong fragrances suit some men, while citrus types suit others. I like my men to smell fresh and woody, but also like a man.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can't expect years and years of it.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
My style is not that big. I wear heels, tight pants, and I wear diamonds.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
If I could dress anyone, I'd like to dress the Queen - she can handle anything. I'd put her in black - she never wears black - and add a little leather, maybe. A little rock n' roll.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Powerful women intimidate men. If she's a really well-known woman, she has a career, she's famous - in that case, men are really afraid.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Let's just say beauty inspires me. But I like all beauty - I think it really comes from the inside out.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
I think glamour all the time. I wake up in the morning and I'm already thinking glamour.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
In mythology, the Medusa can petrify people with a look - which is a good thing, I think. But the Medusa is a unique symbol - something strong. It's about going all the way.
Quote by -Donatella Versace
It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
