Donatella became the creative director of the Italian luxury brand Versace after the tragic death of her brother Gianni in 1997.

The star has helped make the fashion house one of the largest in the world as she dresses Jennifer Lopez, the Kardashians and Jenners and Madonna.

Donatella recently discussed taking on the role of creative director over the years to W Magazineand how failure was just, ‘part of the process’.

“Once I made peace with my past, I was able to find my own voice. Then I really started doing what I wanted.’

“I’ve brought back Gianni’s iconic prints in my own way and created new ones. Today I can say that what you see on the catwalk is really an expression of who I am,” the fashion designer added to the publication.
