Donatella Versace, who is one of the world's most lauded female style icons, has claimed that gay male fashion designers design for the 'women they want to be' rather than their customers.
Speaking to The Times Magazine, the 61-year-old vice president and chief designer of the Versace Group said: 'I love gay people. My friends are all gay. But some of the designers, when they design for a woman, they design for the woman they want to be.'

The Italian designer added: 'They are thinking of themselves. But themselves and the woman are not the same.'


Versace, whose clothes are loved by the Kardashians and Hadids, went on to suggest that these designers should look to the 'real woman'.
The designer's comments come after Us Weekly reported that pop star Lady Gaga will be playing the designer on the third series of American Crime Story.
