Donatella Versace is one of fashion's survivors - not least for enduring the misery of her brother Gianni's murder on July 15 1997. (She had always been his muse and he dedicated Blonde, his perfume, to her and her famed platinum mane). She has kept Versace as a major player in the fashion stakes since his death, whilst publicly emerging from her own addiction issues.
She now oversees the production of a dozen collections each year. Versus - which was handed to her by her brother - has been successful for more than a decade. Celebrities love her and she has a loyal following, from Elizabeth Hurley to Courtney Love.
Donatella Versace is now separated from her former husband, former model Paul Beck. They have two children and Beck continues to look after Versace's advertising. Together they pioneered the use of celebrities in advertising brands, recently using Madonna then Demi Moore.
