Someone couldn't have photoshopped a more bizarre situation! Madonna looks like she's trying to avoid talking to Prince at all cost by pretending that her brother is far more interesting. Mayte looks disgusted to be in the presence of one of Prince's old "sex buddies", and longs for the day when she'll no longer have to accompany him to such lame events. Donatella looks like she's trying for the 87th time to get Prince's attention, while he fiddles with his earring and lets his mind wander to lands of purple ponies and bottomless jars of hair glitter. wink

far as i'm concerned ( and my 'colleagues' ) donahoohaa versace is cancelled. slaughtering animals in the name of vanity makes me wanna fuckin chuck.

i suspect prance didnt do his research before agreeing to this gig.


of course he did: she is embarassingly rich and powerful.



embarassing? yes

rich and powerful in my world? no

how is such an insult to nature still allowed to occur in 2006... all for what? prestige ?????

didnt prance once get an award for that lamb thing he wrote on the back of one his CD's ?

i just dont understand this. he's composed music for someone who clearly has no respect for ... ugh whatever ...

thats why i'm saying mayb he didnt consider the ... ugh whatever ... i gotta get out of this thread .

Turns out programme announcements of Fashion TV are just as reliable as Prince tour mentionings... so far it was Fashion Week - New York instead of Milan as announced. What a drag.

Who Rocks the Hardest? Versace!

Godfrey Deeny
September 29th, 2006 @ 1:20 PM

Anna Wintour will be disappointed she didn’t miss her early flight to London, otherwise she would have caught the risk-taking and notably inventive collection Donatella Versace presented Friday, September 29th in Milan in the fashion house’s new theatre.

Empowered by a custom-made soundtrack courtesy of Prince - who was seen perched between his two latest sirens while grooving to his own sounds in the front row - this was a welcome exercise in high-octane style and body-conscious beauty.

In a new lighter leaf for Versace, attendees witnessed a wonderful finale of contemporary goddess dresses composed of PVC body armor and racy bustiers that meshed into chiffon columns and cocktails.

A slick opening got the show off to a tremendous start, as models emerged in curvy, voluminous dresses in Verner Panton-like abstract prints that were projected simultaneously on an enormous LCD screen that served as the runway’s backdrop.

You had to love Donatella’s take on volume, in particular her wonderfully well crafted bubble minis that looked great on gals like Lily Donaldson but are sure to flatter an average lass.

Pre-show, the paparazzi fought an enormous scrum with a squad of black suited security as photographers and camera crews vied for shots of Prince, who showed up in a beige Versace redingote, black, flared pants and insect shades.

Shod in white and gold patent leather platforms and swinging Medusa headed nappa handbags, the casting featured a smart mix of models. From established catwalk stars like Carmen Kaas and Angela Lindvall to newcomers like Behati and Polina.

Prince was snapping his fingers when Tasha Tilberg strutted her stuff in a sensational corset/lingerie dress boudoir bound for a night of excess, and he pounded his feet when Jessica Stam emoted in a copper gold mini dress with PVC links – surely the iconic look of the season. Another standout was the buttoned-up shirt with no fabric, just skin.

“Classic Versace – on the runway and on the soundtrack with Prince,” said Donatella, minutes after her show.

Versace adds glam to fashion week's retro parade

By Sophie Hardach

MILAN (Reuters) - Gone were the acid colors, gone were the clinging plastic trousers, as Versace feted its new, sober style with 1960s cream shift dresses and geometric prints.

Platinum-haired Donatella Versace hasn't completely left behind her glamorama days -- pop star Prince sat in a celebrity-studded front row, huddled in a cream-colored coat, and watched models strut past to the pumping beats of his music.

"You don't have to be rich to be my girl," Prince's voice squeaked through the loudspeakers, but the girls on the catwalk told a different story with cool thigh-skimming dresses and gold-handled bags that were made for the jet set.

Versace plunged into heavy losses after founder Gianni Versace was murdered in the 1990s, and sales dived as his sister Donatella veered from one screamingly flamboyant collection to the next.

It has since then undergone a radical turnaround cure, repositioning itself as a super-luxury brand, shedding loss-making units and boosting its profitable accessories business -- cue a green clutch bag and white leather bags dangling from gold chains in Friday's fashion show.

Brown, black and white geometric print dresses, a mustard yellow empire waist dress, chocolate-brown shorts and tailored jackets followed that sensible, business-conscious spirit.

Amid the wearable, sellable clothes, Donatella Versace's love for glamour shone through in the form of gold straps on white dresses, angel wings on a white and silver gown, a gold-plate bustier and a long pink princess gown.

The 1960s shift dresses, the nods to Gianni Versace's high-octane style were in line with a retro-happy fashion week.

With Giorgio Armani looking back to the elegant days of his youth, Gucci and Burberry yearning for the 1960s and Dolce & Gabbana throwing in some 1980s aggressiveness, Milan fashion week was too nostalgic for some.

"Milan's been a little bit disappointing," said Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue and the only journalist to be escorted through the queuing crowds by four burly men in suits.

"There are too many designers here looking to the past, going through their old magazines ... I am looking forward to Paris," she said with a smile.

Canadian label DSquared had jumped on the retro train earlier that Friday, reconstructing an Italian piazza for its Dolce Vita-themed fashion show and blasting out 1950s summer hits.

Twins Dean and Dan Caten had set up café facades complete with bustling waiters and loitering young men on scooters to create the right mood for their yellow or navy-with-gold-buttons jackets, ice cream-pink striped mini-dresses, shorts and cropped Capri trousers.

1. OK, so no new or original mixes of music played during the fashion show, contrary to the advance hype?

2. I understood he was to play an intimate gig for the elite few, after the fashion show...apparently that didn't happen?

Don't know about #1, but there was a gig afterwards. Check out page 37 & 38 of the main thread on HQ. Tviolet posted a partial set list...

Kiss
Anotherloverholenyohead
IIWYG
Pink Cashmere
Lolita
Joy in Repetition
Fury
Purple Rain
Let's Go Crazy
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
