Quotable: Which designer wants to dress the Queen in black leather?

This might as well be called the Leather Jubilee, because that’s what Donatella Versace wants to see 86 year-old Queen Elizabeth wearing. Yesterday, during a speaking engagement at the Oxford Union, the Italian designer waxed on about her Majesty’s everlasting appeal. Queue the Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen”?

“If I could dress anyone I’d like to dress the Queen - she can handle anything. I’d put her in black - she never wears black - and add a little leather, maybe. A little rock ‘n’ roll.”
