Working with Versace in the era of Donatella will forever be one of the greatest highlights of my career. What is more of a life’s honor is saying that I know and love this Super Woman. There is warmth, strength, gentleness, humor, generosity, encouragement, loyalty, and magic to @donatella_versace that I feel so lucky to have experienced from this boss and icon. To say her support for me, 10 years ago, changed the course of my career would be an understatement. She was the first person to put me on a big, high fashion runway— then put me in the campaign that season. Looking back at each memory since- more fittings, shoots, shows, carpets, campaigns, and dinners at Donatella’s than I can include^.. I’m reminded how her belief in me a decade ago made me see myself in ways I hadn’t before. I became a woman working for this woman. Some of the moments I’ve felt the most empowered, confident, and beautiful are because of her. I’ll never forget that.
DV- you know I love you so much. Thank you for everything, and for all you have given the world. I will always cherish my time wearing your creations, but the memories continue:) x x 4ever your girl ♉️
