Donatella Speaks on Versace | Vogue Festival 2013 | British Vogue

[@hachraff3503]

every questions she tries to bring Gianni, sure we love him , sure he was the greatest , sure we wished it was him on that chair but however DONATELLA stepped outside gianni shadow a long time ago and proved herself please have some respect

[@TheRealKingMichael]

She has self respect but she loves her brother very much and misses him

[@usforsarah]

I didn't know much about Donatella before I watched this video and now I'm obsessed with her lol She has a great sense of humor and she's so brave and humble! Love her!!!

If people would just hear her being herself they would have an entirely new idea of who she is.. .she's charming and creative....thanks for your comment 👍

That interviewer was actually cringe worthy. What the hell was she thinking? I understand it was on a time schedule but damn stop taking questions if your on that tight of a schedule. I wish I could of heard what Donatella was gonna say before that woman rudely cut her off every sentence.

The problem with journalists interviewing is that they're too busy collecting their own thoughts to just let their interviewee speak.

You can tell right off the bat how much the interviewer LOVES to hear herself speak by constantly interrupting Versace...

[@isaidwhatisaid9740]

Donatella is such an inspiration the way she put the drugs down in 2004 and finally believed in herself and brought VERSACE back to Glory my god this woman will be spoken of in the future what an amazing woman she is I love you Donatella

[@isabellecaetano5139]

Vogue has a lot of rubbish interviewers.... Donatella on the other hand was fantastic

[@donnavertella15]

Am I the only one who finds the interviewers voice incredibly annoying? Donatella on the other hand was spectacular as always

[@cre8ivartist]

The interviewer was so bad. She was patronising Donatella as if she were a child when in fact she was sitting in the presence of a goddess.

[@carls7860]

Wanted to listen to what Donatella has to say... But a crappy interviewer had other ideas... Dreadful! No respect and awful interview technique..

[@tonymullenix9281]

Carl Simmonds I so agree! The lady at the beginning said she was Britain's best fashion reporter? Please tell me I heard that wrong. Interviewing 101, NEVER speak over the person you're interviewing and NEVER interupt someone when they are speaking! Gosh, this was hard to watch and I was very interested in what Miss Versace had to say. The interviewer ruined the entire interview!

[@renrmz]

She seems so nice :)

[@lydiamond12]

The interviewer was introduced as the best in the business, working with Vogue for over 20 years. This has got to be one of the worst interviews ever. Back to the camera, asking questions and not allowing the person to answer because the next question is all your thinking about, no pause, very nervous. Vogue, your chief editor was good enough no interview Donatella. She was always calm when interviewing and professional.

[@orion8835]

The interviewer essentially was uncomfortable with the fact that VERSACE is synonymous with liberated hyper- sexual explosive color patterned clothing. Of course the house had branched into more dishware fabrics and menswear. However GIANNI and DONATELLA were and are creatures of rebellion and extreme excess in the sense of style. The interviewer was very middle class and very English and terribly "time tabled" in the that vein. It is very difficult deciding WHO will get the best interview out of WHOM in fashion as the concept of fashion and it's creation is so individualized with only a guideline of rules. Thus the interviewers need to be carefully paired. This was a very unsuccessful pairing, as Donatella is in her later years and her look is very leather Lady and she has been through SO much. This little kitten in her florals nipping at her heels is so terribly annoying, so terribly perky and desperate to therow every Q&A that she does not allow either to come up for AIR. One can have envisioned a more mature, relaxed interviewer would have gleaned more pearls I think from this fetish clad design legend. Because the House of Versace is a legend now.

[@BITTME1030]

Donnatella is timeless!! The interviewer did a wonderful job! Her questions may have been abrupt at times but she asked questions which Donnatella seemed comfortable answering.

[@OhBujangSigat]

The interview shouldnt sat next to Donatella. She is not into fashion. Always interupt Dona's sentences.

[@marinamarchese6748]

The most horrible f...cking garbage interviewer I have ever seen! Remove her!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so in love with Lady Donatella drunky voice. And the accent. And personality. And everything.

[@gabbyvargas6269]

GORGEOUSSSSSS WOMAN, GREAT STILY, I LOVE VERSACE. ..

[@gabrielhebert2124]

gorgeous ??? then why didnt they even get even one close up of her during the 40 plus interview ?? odd no ?! i have never seen an interview of a celebrity without a least 20 close ups ! the crew surely had strict orders not to zoom in on her plastic face, even her speech is affected as if her skin is stretched to a maximum. (listen closely, although it is quite evident)...doesnt make her a bad person although nothing is natural, far away from aging with grace like so many gracious & beautiful women around the world.

Originally I was okay with the fact the interviewer keep the energy alive and the questions coming so in comes cases its okay to maybe cut off the guest. BUT she kept on doing it, which made me so happy when Ms. Versace kept on answering her question asked at 41:33 classic! Interviewer might have interrupted some good stories, but over all GREAT interview. Thanks for sharing.

[@punkdeplastico]

I hope that interviewer got fired, 'cause God... I couldn't even watch the whole thing. She didn't even care about any of the things Donatella was saying and kept asking shitty questions.

[@ZainabAmina]

wtf is up with this interviewer??

[@harifoctavio]

british vogue must be embarrassed. the interviewer drives tons of us to stop watching the interview. eew!

[@912pinkturtle]

The journalist asked some decent questions, but I would have loved to hear Donatella's voice more than 10% of the time... I think the build-up from the introducer of the journalist, saying she's the best, put a lot of pressure on the journalist. Donatella was the guest of honor and I wish she was given a chance to speak more. She's such an inspiration to me and the few snippets she could squeeze in were true gems. I can only imagine what an interview this could have been if the journalist hadn't made it all about what she thought herself.

[@severetiredamage6754]

To all the people complaining, then when would you have interjected as the interviewer? So what, just let someone talk and talk when there are many topics to cover during a certain amount of time? Its about having a conversation and keeping it moving.

Your cruel comment shows you have no grasp of the love Gianni had for his sister...and the incredible hurdle she had to overcome to take over the house he built. With everyone hoping for her failure...like you...she excelled and kept his business viable...you could never...be ashamed of your cruel comment...she is a mother, sister, designer and icon...the keyboard in front of you does not give you a pass to say such mean things...your thoughts are cruel and unhealthy.

[@homenuke6478]

Considering Donatella used florals in her Spring Summer 2014 collections i don't think she would be.

[@ulisesquinterocastro6563]

homenuke I am quite aware of that ! But there is a certain way of doing it. So, would putting florals on a bag of shit be classed as fashionable because Versace also used florals ? Diana Drori and Nicole Hill (who made that blouse) were heavily panned by critics for the use of floral designs (which was the same year Donatella used florals S/S14). Learn your fashion.
