Donatella Versace x Notorious B.I.G.

As part of The Fader's ICON issue celebrating Biggie, they reached out to the one and only Donatella Versace for her thoughts on Biggie - one of Versace's biggest (no pun intended) fans.

"I think Biggie was amazing. He came to my shows in Paris many times, and we’d see each other often. He always used to talk so nicely about my family. I think he was so smart, so intelligent. He had such a mind. So I loved what he was doing and how he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think a lot of people started to know about Versace because of him."

Dope to see that the respect/admiration is mutual - which is not always the case in the fashion/hip-hop community connection.
