Versace is at the center of speculation this Milan fashion week, with its ownership up for sale and Prada reportedly close to acquiring the iconic brand. Donatella Versace, who has helmed the creative direction since her brother Gianni's death in 1997, may potentially exit. Despite this, she maintains a strong influence over the brand, as highlighted in her latest collection that nods to past designs, showcasing a punk aesthetic. The uncertainty looms larger than the usual fashion discussions as Capri Holdings looks to offload Versace after acquiring it for $2.1 billion.
The prospect of a sale raises the question of whether Donatella, designer since the death of her brother in 1997, will remain as creative lead.
Everyone should have a little Versace attitude, she said before this show, held under the iron shelter of a historic tram depot in Milan.
