Santo Versace won a seat in Italy's parliament last month. The older brother of Donatella and the late Gianni is now a member of the State Chamber, but maybe not for long. Politico talk has it that Santo is already favored for a cabinet post in Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's administration.Santo was the power-behind-the-glittery-throne at the house of Versace. He ran the business side from the beginning in the '70s, which is most likely why he says he can't give up fashion totally, even though he has declared he's no dilettante in Parliament. Perhaps he plans on extending the dynasty through his daughter Francesca, who graduated two years ago from Central Saint Martins design school in London and is already causing a stir as a designer-to-watch. Santo's entrance into the political arena mirrors heiress and former model Carla Bruni's ascension from catwalk queen to becoming first lady of France with her marriage to La Prez Nicolas Sarkozy.
