Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Elizabeth Taylor once stole a ring from Donatella Versace.

The late actress - who was renowned for her love of fine jewelry - once asked the Italian designer if she could try on a ring she was wearing, but then never gave it back to her. "My brother collected vintage jewelry and I was wearing a ring that he'd given me - Elizabeth said in this extraordinary breathy voice, 'Darling I love your ring, may I try it?' And she didn't give it back! She put it on and breathed, 'Oh darling thank you, you didn't have to do that!' But I hadn't!" Donatella said.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is “loyal” to the fashion designers she has worked with from a young age.

The British-born model explained the support of the likes of Gianni Versace and Yves Saint Laurent helped her break into the industry, and while she is not “forced” to wear their designs, she considers them to be “creative geniuses.”

“Our group kind of broke in with the support of designers like Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alaia, Yves Saint Laurent, and Karl Lagerfeld, and their connections to both the magazines and the photographers. I loved watching so many of the great designers I’ve worked with do what they do. That’s why I’m still loyal to the designers that I’ve known since I was 16. It’s not that I’m forced to be - it’s that they’re creative geniuses and I love what they do. For my whole group of girls, it wasn’t always about how much we were getting paid. We were interested in how creative it looked-how it would come across.”

Quote of the Day: Donatella Versace on Sibling Projects

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,

“When I was about 10 or 11, Gianni started to play with me being his model. He’d try clothes on me and ask, ‘What do you think?’ He was pushing me to do my hair lighter—to bleach it. So I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I’d wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots. I looked almost as I do now, the only difference being that I was 11. I was a very mature little girl because I was always with Gianni.”
