The Whitney Museum of American Art took place in New York like every year. Versace sponsored the 2008 edition. The famous maison has always been linked to the world of art since its founder Gianni who was passionate of modern art and collector of works from artists like Andy Warhol, Gustav Klimt and Alexander Calder.

The passion for art seems to be a common feeling for the Versace family, up to now with Donatella who is deeply concerned about it. The 2008/09 fall winter woman collection is a real tribute to Art, the result of the collaboration between the designer and Tim Roeloff who re invented the medusa (ndr: the icon of the Versace maison) print through his art.

Donatella Versace’ s new project focused on the sponsoring of the annual gala and of the Studio Party to support the art and the Whitney Museum. The guests of the event were all wearing Versace creations which turned the night into an ideal fashion show for the maison.

Christina Ricci picked a 2008 fall winter Atelier Versace dress; Juliette Lewis went for gorgeous Versace platform combined with a bustier dress, and Helena Christensen wore a one shoulder dress from the2008/09 Versace fall winter collection.

Patrick Dempsey, testimonial of the Versace man collection, was there too of course, wearing a silk and wool two buttons suit from the 2008/09 fall winter Versace man collection. Sting wore a suit from the very same collection, he came together with his wife Trudy Styler who was wearing Versace too.

Sound that designer Donatella Versace and daughter Allegra would be wearing outfits from their very own maison.

Oscar winner for “Monster” thanks to her extraordinary performance, Charlize Theron, not only a talent actress, but one of the most elegant and glamorous women of the jet set.

As for us, she certainly is the best dressed star of 2008. We do like her for her style, always careful to the most up to date fashion trends, and never excessive. Charlize Theron often posed for famous fashion houses and cosmetics, and on the red carpet he can boost herself with style.
