Hmmm…we’re not sure whether this will help or damage the image of an American presidential candidate, but Donatella Versace has dedicated her Spring-Summer 2009 collection to Democratic contender Barack Obama.

The Italian designer says the clothes are suited for “a relaxed man who doesn’t need to flex muscles to show he has power.”

Donatella also has a few words of advice for Obama: “I would get rid of the tie and jazz up the shirt,” she says.

NOW GET OUT!!!

Patrick Dempsey was all smiles as he posed with Donatella Versace prior to the presentation of the Gianni Versace Fall/Winter 2008/2009 women’s collection.

The resident Grey’s Anatomy hunk is the face of Versace for the fashion-design company’s spring/summer line for men.

They say good things come in small packages.

As a celebration of Harper’s Bazaar’s 140th anniversary, prominent designers are featured next to some of their hits–but with a twist.

The 10-page spread, photographed by Peter Lindbergh, features the Class of 2007, with children dressed up as designers including Karl Lagerfeld, Alber Elbaz, Donatella Versace, John Galliano, Miuccia Prada, Olivier Theyskens, and Stella McCartney, standing next to model Chanel Iman in an outfit from each designer. The kids are dressed to the nines, right down to Alber’s bow tie, Karl’s glasses, and Olivier’s facial hair.

According to Glenda Bailey, editor in chief of the magazine, “Even though these designers are monumental talents, good things come in small sizes.”

Agreed!

As for my personal fave? A fierce pint-sized Galliano.
