Donatella Versace Would Like to Dress the Queen of England in Black Leather
If Mr. Lagerfeld and Mr. Cavalli have taught us anything, it’s that unfiltered honesty is the best, most hilarious, policy. And speaking of unfiltered designers, we haven’t heard from Donatella Versace since last November’s Versace x H&M media blitz. But with the house’s recent return to couture and the sudden interest sparked by potential IPO rumors, we’re starting to hear more from Ms. Versace again (which, yay!).
Tim Blanks moderated a lively interview with the designer yesterday at Oxford University Union, wherein she opened up about her design process, personal life, how she’d like to dress the Queen, and that time Elizabeth Taylor stole some jewels. We weren’t there but Vogue UK was. Read on for the highlights.

Marc Jacobs Uses Underage Models, Defies CFDA Guidelines: Much like the crazy nastyass honey badger, Marc Jacobs just don’t care about the CFDA’s proposed guidelines to ban models under age 16 from the runway, despite the fact that Jacobs is a member of the organization.
