Feel free to share:

Talk about a fashion shock! Donatella designs for Fendi and Fendi designer Kim Jones designs for Versace. What is the fashion industry coming to? Oh, it’s called collaboration. What a beautiful world.

Donatella Versace knows how to ignite the fashion industry and throw us a curve ball. Kim Jones of Fendi designed Versace and Donatella designed Fendi. They each designed 25 looks for their “rival” brands. The runway was packed with celebrity models. Can you identify them? Image captured from the Versace runway video. Watch it here.
