Don’t worry, you read that right. You can now become an intern for the one and only Donatella Versace if you are willing to pay $20,000 for the cause. This is something that you ought to seriously consider if you have always wanted to make it big in the fashion industry and money is of no restriction for you.
The offer is very similar to the one offered by Anna Wintour, which is a weeklong internship at Vogue for a little over $23,000, as of writing this article. However, the Versace internship is for a full semester and you get it complete with two season tickets for the fashion show, an autographed t-shirt, a customized perfume bottle for the internship on the whole. Beyond all the freebies, it looks like this internship should be looked at more for the value proposition that it offers.
If you are desperate enough to buy work experience, then this is definitely the option for you to go for. Of course, it will cost you quite a bit of money, but you can at least get close to Donatella Versace herself. But then, if you plan to make it big in the fashion industry, it always pays to be close to one of the most powerful names in the industry.
The money is being offered for charity, which should help you feel good about yourself even if you are paying a fortune for it. The work experience will be invaluable, and should help you get really good placements in the future for your full time options.
Structure has come to be the theme of most Milan fashion shows for their Fall 2008 collections, but Donatella Versace gives even this popular fashion trend a twist that’s all her own. Striking a balance between structure – something that usually ends up looking simply formal and stuffy – and chic is rarely easy, but quite a bunch of garments on the Versace runway made it to that middle ground. It’s not exactly young-looking, but you’ve got to admit that those clothes do look gorgeous enough for a second look on your next high fashion shopping trip.
The runway saw an abundance of short coats and dresses on the Versace models, and that just about screams “next fashion trend!” for all and sundry. With the emphasis on the shoulders (a good number even had pads), some of these pieces would easily be a retro look. On the other hand, the daring cuts and the surprisingly bold colors also make them look very current. Although the show started out with tried-and-tested black and gray, more and more color began popping up as it progressed.
Versace’s evening gowns certainly deserve a mention, what with so many red carpet wearables sashaying down the runway. Volume was definitely given an emphasis, especially when you look at all the dresses with relatively plain fronts and surprising amounts of cloth on the back. Like the casual portion of the show, the evening wear was a Technicolor affair with yellows, silvers and nudes. Perhaps it just goes to show the versatility with which the Versace fashion house has reinvented itself from its very bling-y roots to its chic and sophisticated present.
