Prince performs at Versace

Versace has never been known as a demure fashion house, and true to its rock & roll spirit, it had Prince perform a private concert after it unveiled its spring summer catwalk collection on Friday. Donatella Versace, the house's creative director, invited the who's who of Milan and the fashion world, to her new post in Piazza Vetra and had Prince, who also wrote an original track for the catwalk show, give an hour-long concert to the excited crowd. English became a common language with the lyrics to all his songs. Italians, French, Swedish and Americans all alike were singing along to his classic tracks.

With a total of three changes, Prince sported Versace like no one else could. His smooth dance moves and velvet voice made each of his different white ensembles a lot more than just appealing; the clothes became 'simply to die for.' Though 'Purple Rain' was not supposed to be the last song in the concert, the crowd clamored for an encore for 10 minutes. Prince came out wearing a white jacket and cowboy hat, and sang the legendary 'Purple Rain' the anthem of 1980s youth. Surprisingly, Donatella did not make an appearance, but Prince thanked her several times.
