DONATELLA VERSACE believes that if her brother Gianni was still alive, he'd have loved Lady Gaga. The designer is close friends with the singer, and has worked with her creatively on several occasions.
"She was determined, she already knew what she wanted: to go straight to the heart of the maison and show those clothes to a new generation, to all her fashion-lover fans," she recalled of her first meeting with the star. "I'm sure that, if Gianni were still alive, he would have been a huge fan of hers."
The pair most notably collaborated on Gaga's The Edge of Glorymusic video - for which Donatella opened up the fashion house's archives for the first time since her brother's death in 1997, and allowing the 27-year-old to wear vintage Gianni Versace designs. Gaga also paid a much-publicised visit to the Versace Milan headquarters in October last year.
"I'm very proud to say that Lady Gaga is a friend of mine," she told Italian magazine, Amica. "I'm very happy that she is part of the Versace family."
Donatella Versace is speaking at the Vogue Festival in association with Vertu this weekend.
