(YES.) Versace USED to be cool. It was Linda Evangelista and Biggie Smalls and now it's not. Now it's old-timey-melanoma-white-pants-Euro and it's fun on some "look at me I'm smoking Capri's while wearing frosted coral-colored Revlon nail polish because I'm a fucking cut up" but is otherwise just super tragic. I mean, seriously, why isn't there a citizen's arrest happening on the coccyxtastic behind of one Allegra Beck Versace, a.k.a. Donatella's daughter, a.k.a. the classic type-a anorexic who holds a majority share of the company but can't grip it with her hands BECAUSE SHE IS JUST THAT HUNGRY. Hunger is bad for business.
