The Second Assassination Of Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace is rolling in his grave.

Michael Kors and Versace crossover

Normally, this article would be detailing the events to be held during Paris Fashion Week, but it will have to take a back burner because this just in: Michael Kors bought Versace for $2.12 billion.

Yup, if you haven't heard it, you've heard it here now. The iconic brand has been bought by the once-iconic fashion brand.

Part of me is happy about this business venture because now I, a humble college student on a broke-but-ballin' budget, could own such a glorious brand name. However, a greater chunk of me is in agony. Gianni Versace did not die for his self-named brand to be bought by such a tacky name.

I say tacky because although Michael Kors had its time in the high-fashion sun, the brand is no longer considered an exclusive brand name. This is mainly because of the lack of exclusivity of the label now.

Consider it: look around you and see how many MK watches, wallets, purses and sunglasses people possess. The more you see, the less high-fashion it is. Vice versa, the less you see, the more high-fashion it is. This has to do with the basic concept of supply and demand and the upper class' attempts to stray from the norm. If someone has what most people don't then it must be cool.

Donatella Versace, Gianni's sister, is the current creative director for the brand, along with help from her brother Santo and daughter Allegra. Donatella announced in a statement that they all, "…recognize that this next step will allow Versace to reach its full potential." The Versace family will reportedly remain its role within the company, with Donatella in her designer position, as well as the same CEO, Jonathan Akeroyd.

Michael Kors Holdings Limited is the official organization that purchased Versace, and with this acquisition will be renamed Capri Holdings. With the addition of this business venture, Capri Holdings is now in the possession of both Versace and Jimmy Choo (bought in 2017). Who will they buy next?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
