Paging Ms Versace–Donatella Versace appeared before Oxford Union today to talk to over three hundred university students about fashion, the house of Versace and other related topics. Versace was also joined by long-term friend and actor Rupert Everett. About the experience, Versace expressed, “I am really honoured and excited about speaking at the Oxford Union. I went to university in Florence – another ancient university city – but the university there is neither as old nor as famous as that in Oxford, nor does it have this amazing tradition of public speaking and debate. My classmates from back then would be very amused to see me at Oxford today. And I’m sure there will be others who will be astonished to find me addressing the Union. But maybe I can surprise a few people?”
