Then "Grey's Anatomy's" star was the perfect choice to front Versace internationally as far as Donatella Versace is concerned, because he “represents everything that is great about this collection — he has that confidence, he is completely comfortable in his own skin, which is so attractive. He is the modern man of today and of course looks fantastic in the clothes”.
