8:45 A.M. I take a shower to freshen up. Then I prepare for the day with my beauty regimen. While this is well practiced, it is pretty functional. I have some trusted products that I use regularly. For my skin, it's French almond oil, Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream, and By Terry Pureté de Rose gel and Douceur de Rose cleansing cream. I use various products for my hair; I don't really have favorites. And my hair is pretty easy to take care of. My brother Gianni turned me blonde late one night when I was 11, and I have never looked back. As for makeup, I love luminous skin, a nude lip with lip balm, and smoky eyes. Then I reach for my perfume, which is Versace Vanitas, naturally! I put on my working clothes. These tend to be variations on a theme: tight black pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a black leather Versace blouson, and, of course, high heels. I always wear high heels—I simply feel naked without them. I also love well-chosen accessories, and I will usually pick out a couple of pieces from my personal collection of fine jewelry. What I select depends on what I'm wearing, but I'm lucky enough to own beautiful fine jewels, and I have lots to choose from. My favorite piece is a yellow diamond ring Gianni gave me after my first Versus show.
