Patrick Dempsey will debut as the face of Versace Men’s Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign in February.

“I was thrilled to be asked to be the face of the Versace Men’s campaign,” Dempsey said in a statement. “It was so lovely to work with Donatella Versace, she is an iconic and inspirational woman and a wonderful person, not to mention what a pleasure it was to work with Mario Testino too, one of the world’s finest photographers.”

Donatella Versace says:

“Patrick 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.”

“I’m a big fan,” Donatella added. “So it was a great experience working with him because he is such a talented actor.”
