Couture du Jour: The Versace Women

Donatella Versace and her 20 year-old daughter Allegra (who owns a majority of the Versace company) sat down for a rare joint interview for March’s Harper’s Bazzar.

Surprising stuff: Allegra is quite down-to-earth! She’s taking time off from Brown University to study acting, French, and art history at UCLA. She attends classes five days a week, stays updated on the family business and only goes to nightclubs occasionally. Her group of close friends doesn’t include lots of celebrities. She spends most of her weekends studying or riding her bike on the beach. She visits her mom and younger brother in Italy once a month. She says "Oddly enough, I've found it easier to go to school here in L.A. It's less distracting. If I'm doing something, I tend to do it in a concentrated way."

Here’s some of the stuff I expected: Donatella frowns on Allegra driving, so she uses a driver. "Why should she have to park?" balks Donatella. "Who wants to deal with that?" Allegra offered a little tidbit on her mom: “I have to see movies first to scout them for her. She hates to sit still for two hours without smoking.” We’ll see what other little secrets come out in the full article… [source]
