Versace Lights up Beijing in First China Fashion Show

Italian luxury brand Versace put on a glitzy and glamorous first fashion show in China on Thursday a stone's throw from Beijing's central Tiananmen Square, raising more than $100,000 for charity.

Using only Chinese models on a circular runway similar to one used at Milan events, Versace chose one of Beijing's most fashionable new addresses for the show, the Legation Quarter, home to the U.S. embassy in the final days of imperial China.

"What appeals to me is the energy in China, especially in this city Beijing. There are a lot of young people, creative people, a lot of art -- it's very inspiring," design head and vice president Donatella Versace told Reuters.

"Chinese people like luxury brands," added Donatella, looking resplendent in a shimmering, figure-hugging black dress and towering black stiletto shoes. Versace displayed its spring/summer 2009 collection at the show, which had previously debuted in Milan, in front of an elite audience of socialites, executives and celebrities, including Chinese and Hollywood action star Jet Li.

Donatella said she would like to make China a regular stop on Versace's fashion show calendar. "If the economic crisis permits, yes I'll come every year," she told reporters ahead of the show. "I have to say that doing it here in Beijing has been amazing because of the enthusiasm," Donatella added. "I think the Chinese people love fashion -- that's what I can feel." Versace, whose glamorous gowns cost thousands of euros, also auctioned off a diamond watch and chance to visit the company in Milan, among other things, raising 690,000 yuan ($101,100) for survivors of May's huge earthquake in China's Sichuan province.

Dolce & Gabbana Slams Milan Fashion Week

Milan Fashion Week has been branded a "circus without sense" by Dolce & Gabbana amid fears that it rapidly falling behind Paris and London as a vital destination on the haute couture circuit. Long delays, chaotic organisation and unseemly catfights led to this year's edition of Italy's most prestigious fashion showcase, which finishes today, being roundly attacked.

The trouble started when some leading designers started to reschedule their catwalk shows earlier in the week because of fears that influential fashion editors would leave Milan before the end of the event.

Anna Wintour, the editor of American Vogue, said she had requested Armani, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana to shift their shows so that she could return to America before Paris Fashion Week begins next Tuesday. As a result, a logjam of catwalk shows at the beginning of the week caused havoc.

Over 95 labels show off their creations at fashion week in 103 catwalk shows. "Instead of one week's worth of shows, most of the important ones were crammed into three days," said Marina Garzoni, the founder of Fashion and Technology, a fashion consultant.

"We just had to run across town, the calender was very congested and made no sense," she added. Many designers, led by Dolce & Gabbana, expressed their fears that Milan Fashion Week will get a poor reputation and will be neglected in future. However, Roberto Cavalli blamed the fashion editors. He said: "If we take our advertising out of their newspapers, you'll see that they'll come here not just for one day of Italian fashion but for all ten.

Madrid Bans Waifs from Catwalks

Madrid fashion week, one of Spain's most prestigious shows, is banning underweight models on the basis of their body mass index (BMI). UN health experts recommend a BMI of between 18.5 and about 25, and some models may fall well below the minimum.

The Spanish Association of Fashion Designers has decided to ban models who have a BMI of less than 18. Unhealthily skinny models at last year's fashion shows led to protests from doctors and women's rights groups.

The association agreed to use the BMI - a calculation based on height and weight - in response to local government pressure. It suggests that 30% of would-be participants fail this test and this year's fashion week, which begins on 18 September, will offer medical treatment to excessively thin models.
