(MILAN) When you've already conquered fashion, accessories, and home furnishings-not to mention cars and jets-the only place left to go is up. Or, in Versace's case, way up. Donatella's design house has just revealed it will team up with the technological wizards at Agusta Westland to design, develop, and produce an exclusive line of private helicopter interiors, allowing specific target customers to personalise the interior of their helicopter aircraft in the ultimate Versace style.

"Versace represents Italian excellence not only within fashion but every sector of exclusive design. Agusta Westland is the ideal ambassador to develop this new project fore fronting the highest level of excellence and expertise in its sector," stated Versace CEO Giancarlo Di Risio, adding that "interior design for helicopters is a natural extension within the Versace world following our recent announced luxury resorts, private jets, exclusive cars that represent the Maison's unique style and design."
