Fashion news: Donatella Versace bemoans the loss of egos, Robert Duffy learns the power of Twitter, and a mani at the auto shop

Donatella Versace just wants fashion to be a fun, ego-fuelled mania again–like the good old days. To wit: Kristen McMenamy and Linda Evangelista once battled over who had blonde hair with black roots first. “I was called on as a witness to say who was the first to do black roots in blonde hair. At the time Steven Miesel was really inventing the look of the girls in this way, so I knew who was first: Kristen.” At another show, McMenamy allegedly stole one of Evangelina’s fake boobs. That does actually sound like a lot of fun. [Independent, via The Cut]

This twitter is a powerful thing.” Welcome to the internet, Duffy. [@robertcduffy]
