Donatella Versace Prefers Models With Personality

Donatella Versace thinks modern models are similar to robots. In her opinion, fashion world needs more exciting supermodels.

The designer is sure that beauties of nowadays lack the personality and egos that their predecessors had.

She told LOVE magazine:

There is not enough ego! Now is a bad moment. They are like robots. Now we need something. We need a special personality. We need to feed the egos of these girls. Somebody like Kristen McMenamy who had a huge ego. Beautiful.”

Donatella has a good memory of the 90s supermodels like Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista and Kristen McMenamy and reckons they brought lots of entertainment to the fashion industry.

She said:

When a new girl came along, oh my God, it was like a war. Like Kate, she was 16 the first time I booked her for Avedon, and she was put among all of these monsters, these big girls like Linda and Kristen. And she was just 16. She was like this, ‘Can I go out and buy cigarettes?’ ‘No, sit there – I will get you cigarettes!’ “

The time was touch, now it is better but the models do look like each other at the moment. Donatella seems to be right to a certain extent.
