That Versace News

Everyone is probably aware by now that Donatella Versace's daughter Allegra, 20, is seriously ill with anorexia.

The British press have gone wild with this and are busy making up statements and digging up past Versace scandals in the hope of painting the family as some sort of Italian version of the Kennedys.


Donatella & Allegra Versace


TFFF wanted to give you the news, but at the same time we feel this is a delicate subject and shouldn't be used for an editorial. Allegra is just 20 years old, and whilst she is in the public eye this is not through choice; even were she someone who had courted the press, we feel commentary on the Versace family's difficult situation is inappropriate and tasteless.

Versace are expected to release an official statement later today requesting privacy, although they have not released any kind of press statement yet as far as TFFF are aware, so any quotes you may have read are more than likely to have been fabricated.

This is a really sad story and I don't want to use it to write another fash-bashing editorial, because really, I think this is just awful news. TFFF sympathies are with Allegra and her family.
