In recent shock horror news, Donatella Versace has quit smoking. Shock. Horror. What does this mean for the future of the house? What does this mean for the future of Donatella’s sexy, gravelly voice? Who will inherit her collection of sparkly lighter covers? Heaven forbid they should be consigned to the trash! More shock! More horror! Whereas the fate of the lighter covers still remains at this time unknown, the fate of rebellion has been revealed. Athleticism is the new smoking. Those brightly coloured stripes you see across the models faces and torsos are not the result of hallucination from nicotine withdrawal that has manifested itself in a sort of tribal body painting as we personally first thought, but are in fact inspired by the brightly coloured strips of Kinesio tape worn by athletes for treating injuries. Apparently, Donatella claimed backstage that the discipline that athletes must exercise in pursuit of their goals was something she could relate to at this point in her life. For without discipline no one would achieve anything, be it winning a gold medal or quitting the fags, which when you think about it is on par with winning a gold medal. Though it has to be said, the bright stripes do look rather fabulous set against the golden skin of the boys. A bit walking rainbow.
