Donatella Versace kicks off Couture Spring 2013

Donatella Versace dazzled Paris on a dark, snowy night with a spring couture collection heavy on 24-carat gold pinstripes and crystal embroidery that some might say tended towards bling. Hollywood actor Kevin Costner, Princess Charlene of Monaco, actresses Melissa George and Olivia Munn and rapper Ne-Yo were were among those who turned out. Versace, whose collection was shown the night before the rest of the couture shows begin, said she took inspiration from the "architectural splendour of glass domes where the fragility of glass contrasts with the strength of iron and steel beams".
