Italian designer, Donatella Versace is one of the most recognized fashion designers of our time. Her style direction is impeccable and influences a great deal of the population. Lately, Donatella Versace has found a bit of inspiration in the United States for her designs. Donatella Versace used Senator Barack Obama as the muse for her Spring/Summer 2009 menswear collection. Versace’s collection includes jazzy scarves instead of ties and several tailored suits with suit jackets either double lapelled or without lapels, slim polished trousers and shirts in muted shades of pale blue, lemon yellow and lavender to define her collection. ABC news mentioned that, “Versace described the Obama-dedicated style as one designed for ‘a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power’."
Luxist.com mentioned that, “The woman who once said she wanted to dress Hillary Clinton in more feminine outfits and less pantsuits’ has turned her attention to Barack Obama.” Obama mentioned before that he only has four pairs of shoes and five suits; this may have influenced Versace’s interest!ny
