Donatella Versace Fashion Quotations

Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.

Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.

Fashion is a weapon that you can use when you need it.

The three biggest fashion mistakes are cheap suits, shoes, and shirts. Spend your money on something good.

I don't see anybody categorized as a 'fashion diva,' except for me! And I like that. I am thought of as a diva because I wear an evening dress and I take care of my look when I go out. I go to parties regarding business, not for fun. And that's why they call me a 'diva.'

Some say the economy means that you have to persuade people to invest in clothes - to buy less things but more expensive things. I disagree - invest in jewelry, or a house, maybe, but not in fashion.

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.

Fashion needs fresh blood, and London is the most creative place for that.

In fashion, only sexy won’t go out of fashion.

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.

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.

New York is full of creative people, not only in fashion.

I have to say, I grew up with fashion because my mother was a seamstress, and she had an atelier. She would cut the first pattern, and then she had people working for her. So I grew up in an atelier, watching people all around me sewing. I was fascinated.

I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.

I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I'd wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.

For me, music gives a voice to fashion.

In fashion, women have more sensitivity, more sense of the body, so they know how things fit and feel. Yet there are not many women who study fashion. It's ridiculous.

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.

Fashion is not frivolous.

Alexander McQueen... The fashion world has not only lost an icon but we have also lost a very special friend.

Fashion is not frivolous. I am a businesswoman, a very serious person.

You can never forget the time you are 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.

Feminism is dead in the world. It comes from another time. 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.

Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.

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.
