Donatella Versace’s Italian Interiors

Donatella Versace is an Italian fashion designer and is the current Vice-President of the Versace Group, as well as the chief designer. Donatella’s brother Gianni Versace was the company’s original founder.

Donatella was born in the Italian city of Reggio Calabria, the youngest of four children. Her father was a personal financier to the Italian aristocracy, and her mother was a dress maker, which explains her luxurious, classic taste when it comes to both fashion and interior design.

In the 1970s, Donatella followed her older brother Gianni to pursue knitwear design in Florence, Italy. Donatella had planned to work for her brother in the PR industry, but she was more valuable to Gianni as a “muse and critic” for the Versace brand, according to Donatella ‘s interview with Vogue.

It was under Donatella’s guidance that Versace evolved from a clothing brand to include accessories, perfumes to hotels and home furnishings. Not only does Donatella have stunning taste when it comes to her high-fashion brand, but she also has remarkable taste when it comes to interior design.

Here are some photos of Donatella Versace’s exquisite two-floor apartment in Milan, Italy. Her palazzo’s style is definitively Versace, encompassing opulent classical elements with modern pieces.

There are lots of antiques, which are assumedly heirlooms from her Italian family and late brother Gianni. The overall style of her apartment is reminiscent of centuries past due, to the baroque elements and opulent colour scheme of predominantly black and gold.

Donatella expressed “Just because furniture is big and luxurious doesn’t mean it has to look heavy.  So I chose solid and pastel colours for my furniture.”
