TOP design house Versace agreed to provide a dress for former president Bill Clinton’s toothy daughter Chelsea at a fundraising dinner she was hosting in London in aid of the British Red Cross last week. Chelsea, a Versace press release said, would be wearing a fetching "black, round-necked trouser suit with fitted zip-up jacket and black round-necked top from the Versace house’s spring/summer 2003 collection". [A black pantsuit - how original!]
Unfortunately, nobody seemed to have told Versace, according to the British Red Cross announcement, that it was a "private" function and the press were not invited. Versace’s generosity, therefore, went largely unnoticed. source
Has anyone else ever heard of a private, no-press-allowed Red Cross fundraiser?
