Donatella Versace thinks flamboyant designs are "old-fashioned".
The Italian designer - whose Versace brand is known for its extravagant, glitzy clothes - has worked hard to create a new aesthetic for Versace, and thinks simple, clean designs with a hint of sexiness are the way forward.
She explained: "My eye has changed. Ostentation looks old-fashioned now. On a red carpet, you can be historic, but the woman of today doesn't even want to check in her baggage."
The change in Donatella's style has also impacted on her home, a Milan apartment she retreats to when she wants time away from her fashion-fuelled life.
My eye has changed. Ostentation looks old-fashioned now. On a red carpet, you can be historic, but the woman of today doesn't even want to check in her baggage.
She loves relaxing in the lavish property, which is decorated with bright colours - including turquoise, pink and orange - and luxury fabrics.
She explained to Britain's InStyle magazine: "Fashion shows are public, my life is public. Here, I close the door and no-one can come in. It's my treasure box. I wanted colours so rich that they would almost hide me.
"In the evening, I want to sink into a couch so deep that I forget anything that got to me during the day."
