The spring-summer 2002 menswear preview showings which began over the weekend in Milan saw Elton in the front row of the Versace show on June 24, 2001, reported Associated Press.
"Men today are at least as vain as women," said Donatella Versace after her Sunday night show, in an ex-factory turned into a sumptuous living room for the occasion.
Showcased designs included pastel-coloured silk brocade suits with tight jackets and flared trousers, worn with sheer silk embroidered T-shirts, matching lace-up shoes, and a sash.
