11. Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace is the sister of fashion designer Gianni Versace, who is the founder of Versace clothing line. She is now the Vice-President of Versace and the Chief Designer for the entire line . 

Donatella is the youngest of three children and was born in Italy in 1955. She was very close to her brother, and they both studied knitwear design in Florence. Despite the company's huge success, tragedy struck the Versace family when Gianni was murdered outside of his mansion. The family went into seclusion after the funeral and cancelled the entire 1998 spring line, but in July 1998, Donatella put on her first couture show, bringing Versace back into the fashion world.
