Halle Berry on Versace

Halle Berry landed the starring role at Versace, for the famed Italian fashion house Spring/Summer 2006 advertising campaign. Shot by Mario Testino in Los Angeles Halle Berry portrays today’s Versace woman strong and confident but feminine at the same time.

“She represents everything that is great about this collection – someone who loves color, has a real sensuality, who is strong yet feminine and who is a real woman who has lived.”

Donatella Versace

Donatella who has always chosen inspirational women to represent the House of Versace continues the house’s ‘new mood’ that started last September in Milan with the preview of Versace’s Spring / Summer 2006 collection - glamorous and sensual but not overtly sexy. In Donatella’s ‘new mood,’ glamour is within the reach of real women, which also prompted the choice of Halle Berry as the new face of Versace.

“For me [Halle Berry] is easier to relate to and more relevant than a model and of course she looks simply beautiful in the clothes.”

Donatella Versace
