I was never a fan of Donatella Versace and it's not that I don't like her designs or anything. Maybe it's just the fact that when I hear 'Versace' the only person that I associated and grew up to love is the late Gianni Versace. And since Donatella replaced her brother to head the Versace empire, I guess a part of me felt she didn't deserve it because it was Gianni's hard work, blood, sweat and tears that made Versace one of fashion's respected and renowned label.

But knowing the fact that Donatella was ( or maybe even today ) being compared to Gianni, just imagine what that feels like. Haunted by the legacy left by a loved one, with expectations to at least maintain that legacy or worst surpass that. And her resilience and hard work to move forward and has done her brother proud is endearing and respectable.

Versace Men's Spring 2009 is a collection that showcases innovation and modernizing the Versace man. Chrome, steel gray, yellow, lavender and cool hues of blue painted the runway with fresh and sensuous designs. Making a true believer out of me that the Versace legac is in perfect hands. Bravura Donatella!
