Gigi Hadid Says the ‘Era of Donatella’ at Versace ‘Highlights’ Her Career
Gigi Hadid paid tribute to Donatella Versace after the fashion icon stepped down as chief creative officer for Versace
“There is warmth, strength, gentleness, humor, generosity, encouragement, loyalty, and magic to @donatella_versace that I feel so lucky to have experienced from this boss and icon,” Hadid continued. Hadid added that Donatella “was the first person to put me on a big, high fashion runway — then put me in the campaign that season,” saying, “Looking back at each memory since- more fittings, shoots, shows, carpets, campaigns, and dinners at Donatella’s than I can include^..
