Donatella Versace, who took over as designer soon after her brother’s sudden death, presented a blockbuster tribute show that ended with five of the original supermodels – Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen and the former French first lady Carla Bruni – taking to the catwalk together, soundtracked by George Michael’s Freedom. The finale was designed to reenact one of Gianni Versace’s most iconic moments from 1991, when four supermodels walked arm in arm on the runway as George Michael sat in the front row.
As a power move at fashion week, it was sheer shock and awe. The original supers are still worshipped by the industry. But by putting five women in the spotlight on a night dedicated to her brother, Donatella Versace also ensured that the optics emphasised her brother’s “allegiance to women”.
At a press conference before the show Donatella Versace said that the catwalk rehearsal with the star models – whom she referred to as “icons”, rather than supermodels – had been the most emotional moment of the preparations.
“But today I am not sad. I am happy that after 20 years I can finally do this with a smile on my face,” she said, adding that she had been kept busy by the antics of her five stars. “They have a green room each, but they are running in and out of each other’s rooms all day. And because they walk the runway together they are arguing about who gets to go in the middle, just like the old days.”
