Donatella Versace, the current vice president for VERSACE was given a tribute by CNN to honor the fashion icon and her accomplishments.  Donatella Versace’s tribute will include Claudia Schiffer, Lady Gaga, Gigi Hadid, and Edward Enninful in addition to other models, celebrities and fashion editors. Her influence in the fashion world has made her one of a kind and has earned her admiration and stardom. Famous looks such as Lady Gaga’s tour outfits and Ricardo Tisci’s Autumn-Winter 2015 Givenchy campaign are just two examples of creations that have made her the icon she is. At last year’s Fashion Awards, the designer was awarded with the Fashion Icon Award. When asked how she felt, Versace responded with: “I feel very honored and . . . humbled at the same time. This year has been a roller coaster of emotions for me, and this is quite a flattering conclusion. I am very happy also because I was able to share that special moment with some of my closest friends. Naomi and the girls are part of my family, it’s like we grew up together, so having them there with me made that moment even more emotional and important.” According to CNN, a tribute “Marking 20 years since her brother’s murder in 1997, the show brought together Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen and Carla Bruni, who walked arm in arm down the catwalk during the finale as George Michael’s “Freedom” played.” The dedication to her late brother, Gianni Versace, is said to have been a masterpiece and left many in awe, giving another reason for her being awarded the Fashion Icon award.
