wait so I don't get it, they're mad because they can't sell this hood now? can't they sell it after Gaga wore it? It's not like Gaga re-wears things. and it's not like most people wouldn't want the piece after Gaga wore it, if anything it'd increase the value
Gaga looks good in Versace, and Versace looks good on Gaga. If they don't like that Donatella is able to recognize that simple fact, they can step aside.
Let's be 100% real here. The fashion industry has never accepted Lady Gaga as a fashion icon or lauded her for being fashion forward. They consider her outfits to be costumes -- nothing more, nothing less. The Gaga ads, the clothing inspiration, the swag, etc -- Donatella Versace is laying on the "Lady Gaga love" a little too thick for fashion editors, that's the point. When it comes to fashion, people want to buy VERSACE, not Lady Gaga. If Donatella Versace is a wise woman, she'll distance Lady Gaga's image AWAY from her brand. Otherwise, she will most definitely start to see a decline. Since Donatella Versace is a smart business woman, I have no doubt that is what she will do when the critics become even louder about her decisions.

I have to respectfully disagree with you here - my interpretation of the situation are that they're pissed because she didn't give them a piece they loved but rather gave it to Gaga; not that they dislike Gaga's influences on the Versace brand itself (which, realistically, are negligible at best just yet).
It's one thing to have a close celebrity friend; it's another thing to be influenced by them, thereby
lowering the quality of your work and losing sight of your own vision in the fashion industry.
That's currently what is happening to Donatella Versace and the article points that out.

The queens power even making them haters fume. All in a days work. Legend.
People always act as though designers can't have their muse. Donatella is certainly one to have her muses that reside in the music side of the industry. Anyone who has a problem with it can simply eat her and Lady Gaga's ass.
Donatella Versace's credibility in the world of fashion is being tarnished for
being so heavily connected to Lady Gaga. In other words, Lady
Gaga is slowly destroying Donatella's fashion career.

How is Gaga destroying Donatella's career when the collection (inspired by Gaga) was one of their best yet? You're such a hater it's sickening.

Oh please, they say stuff like this every time because the fashion industry likes to be snobby about fashion these days.
They said it about Mugler because of Gaga and Nicola's heavy collaborations on some of the shows and they'll say it about Versace as well.
Meanwhile these brands keep doing what they love and creating what they love.
