Jonathan Anderson says he's "super proud" of the capsule collection he created for Versus — and that he loved the chance to collaborate with Donatella Versace.

"I adore her," he told Vogue UK. "I thought what we did took Versus back to where it should be. It was an amazing collaboration and a good balance for both of us."

Asked whether he'd ever work with another designer, Anderson said, "No. Donatella is really the only exception. She's exceptional and takes risks."

To celebrate the launch of the collection in May, Anderson and Versace filled New York City's Lexington Avenue Armory with everyone from industry insiders like Leigh Lezark, Eniko Mihalik, and Harriet Mays Powell, but she also drew stars like Heidi Klum, Darren Criss, and Taylor Momsen.
