										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="182" data-end="226"><em>Published: October 17, 2025, 21:45 EDT</em></p>
<p data-start="228" data-end="684">WNBA forward Angel Reese has become the first professional athlete to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway, marking a historic moment for both sports and fashion. The 23-year-old Chicago Sky player joined models including Bella and Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, and a diverse cast of transgender, pregnant, and plus-size models — underscoring the lingerie label’s ongoing transformation from its once-narrow beauty ideals to a more inclusive image.</p>
<h3 data-start="686" data-end="733">A milestone moment for sports and fashion</h3>
<p data-start="735" data-end="977">The event, live-streamed globally on Wednesday, symbolized the revival of a show that once defined glamour in the 1990s and early 2000s. After a six-year hiatus, Victoria’s Secret returned with a fresh emphasis on diversity and empowerment.</p>
<p data-start="979" data-end="1266">Backstage, Reese told CNN that the experience felt like the realization of a dream she had publicly shared. “I posted on my Instagram Story last year, when I was in the front row, that I’d be a Victoria’s Secret model one day,” she said. “I didn’t know it was going to come this fast.”</p>
<h3 data-start="1268" data-end="1309">A brand redefining beauty standards</h3>
<p data-start="1311" data-end="1557">Once a cultural juggernaut, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show lost relevance amid criticism that it promoted unrealistic body images. Viewership dropped from 9.7 million in 2013 to just 3.3 million in 2018 before the show was canceled in 2019.</p>
<p data-start="1559" data-end="2057">This year’s runway, however, featured a strikingly different tone. It opened with nine-month-pregnant model Jasmine Tookes, who appeared in a gold macrame gown inspired by Botticelli’s <em data-start="1744" data-end="1760">Birth of Venus</em>. Plus-size icons Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, and Yumi Nu also took part, alongside Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio — two trans women who made history at last year’s revival event. Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee performed during a “halftime” show segment for the youth-focused sub-brand Pink.</p>
<h3 data-start="2059" data-end="2108">Angel Reese and the new face of inclusivity</h3>
<p data-start="2110" data-end="2328">“Everybody looks different, but they’re all beautiful,” Reese said while preparing backstage. “That’s the inclusivity of being a Victoria’s Secret model — knowing you can look beautiful in any shape, size, or color.”</p>
<p data-start="2330" data-end="2606">Reese’s participation came after conversations with Victoria’s Secret CEO Hillary Super, who reportedly encouraged the athlete to join the reimagined runway. “She told me, ‘You can be here. You’re an athlete, you have the body, you’re confident — you belong,’” Reese shared.</p>
<h3 data-start="2608" data-end="2658">Victoria’s Secret’s long road to reinvention</h3>
<p data-start="2660" data-end="2987">Under Super’s leadership, Victoria’s Secret has sought to recover from years of declining sales and criticism. Annual revenue grew 1% to $6.23 billion last year — modest progress after a decade of financial turbulence that saw store closures and intense competition from comfort-oriented brands like Savage X Fenty and Aerie.</p>
<p data-start="2989" data-end="3322">In 2015, Victoria’s Secret generated nearly two-thirds of parent company L Brands’ revenue, then valued at $28 billion. By 2020, the company had gone private in a deal valuing it at just $1.1 billion. The turnaround effort has since included new partnerships, celebrity collaborations, and a shift toward advocacy-driven marketing.</p>
<h3 data-start="3324" data-end="3368">The VS Collective and a cultural reset</h3>
<p data-start="3370" data-end="3634">Ahead of its 2024 comeback show, the company launched the “VS Collective” — a campaign fronted by athletes, activists, and influencers promoting empowerment and inclusivity. Among the ambassadors are soccer star Megan Rapinoe and Olympic gold medalist Eileen Gu.</p>
<p data-start="3636" data-end="3896">Reese, however, remains the only athlete to walk the actual runway — a fact she says makes her role even more meaningful. “A lot of young women will be watching me today,” she said. “I want them to see that they can be strong, confident, and dream this big.”</p>
<h3 data-start="3898" data-end="3943">A blend of tradition and transformation</h3>
<p data-start="3945" data-end="4282">The show still nodded to its glamorous past, featuring veteran “Angels” like Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio alongside modern figures like former <em data-start="4096" data-end="4106">Euphoria</em> actor Barbie Ferreira and YouTuber Quenlin Blackwell. Musical performances from Missy Elliott and Karol G added star power to a night celebrating empowerment and sensuality.</p>
<p data-start="4284" data-end="4444">“I’m not going to shy away from looking like this because I work hard for my body,” Reese said. “Being sexy is something I embrace — it’s a part of who I am.”</p>
<p data-start="4446" data-end="4752">Victoria’s Secret’s evolving identity reflects broader shifts across the fashion world, where inclusivity and authenticity increasingly define success. For Reese, her groundbreaking appearance represents not just a personal milestone, but also a signal that the definition of beauty is finally expanding.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Look of the Week: How Haim Brought Skinny Jeans Back Into the Spotlight</strong></h1>
<p>Once a staple of every cool-girl closet and later a fashion-world punchline, skinny jeans are inching back into relevance — and this week, the Haim sisters didn’t just embrace the revival. They led it.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim — the genre-blurring pop-rock trio — stepped out in London for a BBC Radio One appearance wearing slim-cut pants that unapologetically referenced one of fashion’s most polarizing eras: the 2000s. Their outfits weren’t just styled — they were <em>staged</em>, deliberate, and dripping with nostalgia. And in doing so, the sisters signaled more than a simple wardrobe choice. They declared that the skinny jean, for better or worse, is back.</p>
<h3>A Unified Throwback, Three Distinct Looks</h3>
<p>Each sister interpreted the skinny silhouette through a distinct lens — a quiet study in how personal style can make even the most controversial garment feel current again.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Este</strong>, the eldest, leaned into rocker glam with low-rise black leather skinnies, a lace-trimmed camisole, and glossy patent heels — an outfit that looked like it could’ve stepped straight out of a 2005 backstage pass.</li>
<li><strong>Alana</strong>, affectionately known as “baby Haim,” took a softer route: patchwork suede skinny jeans from Dolce &amp; Gabbana, ballet flats, and a forest green leather jacket, channelling the earthy, boho spirit that defined mid-aughts cool.</li>
<li><strong>Danielle</strong>, the band’s lead vocalist, went for structure and edge: utilitarian zippered denim and a white military-style jacket cropped at the waist, trimmed with gold epaulets — a direct nod to the more tailored silhouettes of the early 2010s.</li>
</ul>
<p>It was a masterclass in styling what many considered an outdated cut. But more than that, it was a calculated cultural message.</p>
<h3>Why Skinny Jeans? Why Now?</h3>
<p>From around 2007 to the late 2010s, skinny jeans were the dominant denim trend — omnipresent across class, genre, and geography. They were the great equalizer of the fashion world, worn by everyone from Kate Moss and Alexa Chung to Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Amy Winehouse. Even Kim Kardashian and Keira Knightley — rarely found in the same style lane — had their skinny jean moments.</p>
<p>But over the last several years, fashion moved away from the form-fitting. Loose, baggy silhouettes flooded runways and closets. From Gen Z TikToks to streetwear in Paris and Seoul, the consensus seemed clear: skinny jeans were out.</p>
<p>Still, fashion is cyclical. And quietly, steadily, the pendulum has started to swing back.</p>
<h3>Signals from the Runway — and the Sidewalk</h3>
<p>At the start of 2024, WGSN’s senior denim strategist Susie Draffan predicted a “slow-burn return” for skinny jeans — and the industry has responded. Major fashion houses like Alexander McQueen and Miu Miu incorporated vacuum-packed denim into their Fall/Winter collections, testing the waters with high-gloss, high-drama styles.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, style arbiters like Bella Hadid and Lila Moss have been spotted in fitted denim again. On Instagram, paparazzi-style posts featuring drainpipe jeans and platform boots are quietly gaining traction. Even in street interviews, the once-vilified style is being reconsidered — not embraced universally, but no longer universally rejected either.</p>
<h3>Haim’s Full-Circle Y2K Revival</h3>
<p>Haim’s skinny jeans moment isn’t a random fashion choice — it’s a piece of a larger narrative. The trio has been diving deep into early 2000s iconography to promote their upcoming album, <em>I Quit</em>. From music videos to staged promo images, the aesthetic is deliberate: gritty, raw, and saturated in turn-of-the-century nostalgia.</p>
<p>The visual artwork for singles like <em>Relationships</em> and <em>Everybody’s Trying to Figure Me Out</em> references famous paparazzi photos — like Nicole Kidman’s jubilant post-divorce strut in 2001, or Kate Moss lounging against a black SUV in 2000.</p>
<p>And in a striking promo for their latest single <em>Take Me Back</em>, the sisters pose in Manchester in ultra low-rise jeans and peek-a-boo lace underwear — a dead ringer for the now-legendary 2004 shot of Keira Knightley.</p>
<p>These aren’t just fashion choices. They’re storytelling tools, part of a concept album brought to life. Shot by Terence O’Connor, Haim’s paparazzi-inspired visuals blur the line between homage and performance art. Their fashion becomes part of the music — a kind of living album cover.</p>
<h3>What It All Means</h3>
<p>Haim isn’t just playing dress-up in skinny jeans — they’re participating in a larger cultural moment. Fashion is not just remembering Y2K style; it’s reassessing it. And the Haim sisters are among the first high-profile artists to fully embrace that shift, not just in what they wear but in how they tell their story.</p>
<p>In an era when style is constantly reframed through nostalgia and reinvention, their choice to spotlight skinny jeans feels bold — and maybe even ahead of the curve. They&#8217;re making the controversial cool again, in their own terms and on their own timeline.</p>
<h3>Final Take</h3>
<p>Skinny jeans might not be for everyone. But their reappearance — especially on high-style, music-savvy trendsetters like Haim — suggests they’re no longer a punchline. Whether you&#8217;re ready to dive back into skintight denim or not, one thing’s clear: fashion’s memory is long, and its cycles always return.</p>
<p>And right now, thanks to Haim, skinny jeans are humming a comeback tune — in three-part harmony.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Fashion’s Worst-Kept Secret Is Finally Official: Jonathan Anderson Takes the Helm at Dior</strong></h1>
<p>It started with a shadow on the sand.<br />
Back in December 2024, Jonathan Anderson posted a moody Instagram snap of his silhouette against a dusky beach, simply captioned: “sunset.”</p>
<p>Was it just a vacation photo — or a quiet hint of something bigger on the horizon?</p>
<p>Fast forward to June 2, and the fashion world has its answer. Anderson, one of the industry’s most admired creative forces, has officially been named the new creative director of Dior. He’ll be overseeing it all — womenswear, menswear, and haute couture — marking a bold new era for the French fashion powerhouse.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>“It is a great honor,” Anderson said in a statement. “I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy. I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.”</h3>
</blockquote>
<h3>Dior’s New Era — and Why It Matters</h3>
<p>The appointment comes at a time of major transition for Dior. Maria Grazia Chiuri, who led womenswear for nine years, stepped down in May. Kim Jones exited Dior Men back in January after a seven-year run. Anderson now takes over both roles — a move that consolidates Dior’s creative direction under a single, visionary leader.</p>
<p>His arrival also couldn’t be more timely. LVMH, Dior’s parent company and the world’s largest luxury group (valued at a staggering $270 billion), has been quietly looking for fresh momentum at Dior — a brand investment analysts have called its “problem child.” In a sector battling sluggish growth, many see Anderson’s distinctive style as the creative jolt Dior needs.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>“Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,” said LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. “His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior.”</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>Delphine Arnault, CEO of Christian Dior Couture, echoed the sentiment, calling Anderson’s vision “creative and modern” and promising full support from Dior’s iconic Ateliers.</p>
<h3>From Loewe to the Limelight</h3>
<p>At 40, Anderson is no stranger to the spotlight. The Northern Irish designer rose to prominence as the creative director of Loewe, the LVMH-owned Spanish label, where he spent more than a decade transforming it into one of fashion’s most talked-about brands.</p>
<p>Under Anderson’s leadership, Loewe was never just about clothes — it became a cultural moment. He charmed the fashion elite and celebrities alike with his playful, often surreal designs: pigeon-shaped clutches, egg-heel stilettos, and handbags modeled after tomatoes and nail polish bottles.</p>
<p>He also made Loewe a broader creative hub. His Loewe Craft Prize spotlighted global artisans. His ad campaigns — like the one featuring Daniel Craig in a cardigan or Dame Maggie Smith in a voluminous coat — broke the internet. Most recently, he designed costumes for Luca Guadagnino’s films <em>Queer</em> and <em>Challengers</em>, further cementing his status as a designer who thinks far beyond the runway.</p>
<h3>A Generation Defining the Future of Fashion</h3>
<p>Anderson’s Dior debut is part of a wider shake-up in the luxury world. In the past few months alone, Kering tapped Pierpaolo Piccioli (formerly of Valentino) to lead Balenciaga, while Demna moved on to steer Gucci. Overhauls are also underway at Chanel, Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Celine.</p>
<p>This new wave of leadership — designers with global influence, multidisciplinary instincts, and a feel for what’s next — is setting the tone for what luxury fashion will look like in the years ahead. And Anderson, with his blend of wit, intellect, and artistic curiosity, seems well-positioned to lead the charge at Dior.</p>
<h3>Steal Like an Artist</h3>
<p>Known for his thoughtful approach to design and culture, Anderson once told graduating students at the University for the Creative Arts:</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>“Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. Steal, adapt, borrow… It doesn’t matter where you take things from. It’s where you take them to.”</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>The quote, a mash-up of inspirations from Pablo Picasso, Jean-Luc Godard, and Jim Jarmusch, speaks to Anderson’s ethos: draw from everywhere, but create something only you could make.</p>
<p>That mindset — informed by art, film, history, and even dreams — now finds a new home at Dior. And if his track record is any indication, Anderson isn’t just taking over the brand. He’s ready to reinvent it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Flat Shoes Make Their Mark at Cannes: Comfort Finally Walks the Red Carpet</strong></h1>
<p>For decades, Cannes Film Festival&#8217;s red carpet has been synonymous with glitz, glam—and sky-high heels. But in 2024, the tides have turned: flat shoes are officially in, and they’re stepping into the spotlight with serious style.</p>
<h3>A Step Away from Tradition</h3>
<p>The fashion world hasn’t forgotten #Flatgate—the 2015 controversy where several women were reportedly turned away from a screening for wearing flats. Though Cannes organizers insisted there was no official heels-only rule, the backlash was swift, sparking debates over gendered dress codes and sparking mini-protests from celebrities.</p>
<p>Julia Roberts went barefoot in 2016. Kirsten Stewart dramatically removed her stilettos in 2018. And Jennifer Lawrence unintentionally reignited the discussion in 2023 when she wore flip flops under her Dior gown due to a last-minute shoe mishap.</p>
<p>Now, Cannes has made it official: elegant footwear is welcome—heels or not.</p>
<h3>Celebs Embrace the Flat Movement</h3>
<p>This year’s red carpet featured a growing number of A-listers opting for chic, low-heeled looks. Jane Fonda wowed in silver Margaux Mary Janes, Margaret Qualley donned Chanel sequined ballet flats, and directors like Alice Rohrwacher and Molly Manning Walker strutted in Prada loafers. Actor Llúcia Garcia chose simple black ballet flats.</p>
<p>It’s not just a red carpet trend—flat shoes are enjoying a full-blown fashion revival.</p>
<h3>The Rise (or Fall) of the Flat Shoe</h3>
<p>Long dismissed as dowdy or unglamorous, flat shoes are experiencing a major glow-up. Pop culture has long mocked them—like in <em>Barbie</em>, where flat feet are treated like a diagnosis. Even <em>Sex and the City’s</em> Carrie Bradshaw once fretted about her post-surgery inability to wear heels.</p>
<p>But now? Flat shoes are trending hard. Pinterest reports U.S. searches for “ballet flats” are up 190% compared to last May. Google Trends shows a huge spike in searches for “Mary Janes” too.</p>
<p>Fashion houses are paying attention. Tory Burch recently brought back its iconic Reva ballet flat, which once sold 5 million pairs before falling out of favor during the chunky sneaker craze. Sandy Liang’s satin pointe flats and Alaïa’s $1,350 rhinestone-studded Mary Janes are selling out fast. Miu Miu, a flat-shoe stalwart, currently offers over a dozen styles, priced between $875 and $1,790.</p>
<h3>Why the Shift?</h3>
<p>According to fashion journalist Mosha Lundström Halbert, practicality and changing work culture are driving the shift. “You used to wear heels to the office—now, thanks to hybrid work, comfort matters,” she explains. Today’s shoppers want stylish options they can wear all day, not just on special occasions.</p>
<p>Spending big on flats feels more justifiable when they’ll see regular wear. And with evolving attitudes about femininity and presentation, the red carpet is becoming a place where real-life style meets high fashion.</p>
<p>“There’s something refreshing about a flat shoe,” Lundström Halbert adds. “It breaks free from the pageantry.”</p>
<h3>Fashion’s Final Frontier?</h3>
<p>The Cannes red carpet is one of the last holdouts for traditional glamour. But with each pair of elegant flats that glides down the Croisette, it becomes clear: this isn’t just a fashion statement—it’s a cultural one.</p>
<p>Flat shoes are no longer a protest. They’re a powerful choice, showing that comfort, elegance, and individuality can coexist—even in the most glamorous of places.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Look of the Week: Alexander Skarsgård Breaks Fashion Norms with Thigh-High Leather Boots</strong></h1>
<p>While the Cannes Film Festival red carpet often sparks debates about long trains and daring dresses, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård flipped the script in a bold, unexpected way. What if, back in 2005’s <em>Mr. and Mrs. Smith</em>, it was Brad Pitt—not Angelina Jolie—rocking thigh-high leather boots?</p>
<p>That’s exactly the vibe Skarsgård brought to La Croisette on Sunday. Attending the premiere of Wes Anderson’s <em>The Phoenician Scheme</em>, he stunned everyone with a jaw-dropping pair of thigh-high boots. Designed by Harry Lambert and straight from Saint Laurent’s Fall-Winter 2025 runway, these square-toe boots wrapped his entire legs, stopping just where boxer shorts would begin. The look? Half dominatrix, half fisherman’s waders—and completely unexpected.</p>
<p>Thigh-high boots have long been seen as the ultimate symbol of female sex appeal. Angelina Jolie famously wore them as the seductive assassin Jane Smith, pairing them with fishnets, suspenders, and a strapless PVC minidress. Julia Roberts’ Vivian in <em>Pretty Woman</em> and Jane Fonda’s Barbarella also sported iconic tall boots. Even Anne Hathaway’s character in <em>The Devil Wears Prada</em> reached style perfection only after slipping on knee-high leather boots—leading to one of cinema’s most memorable fashion moments.</p>
<p>But here’s a fun fact: thigh-high boots weren’t always a women’s thing. They actually date back to the 15th century when men wore them for practical reasons. A medieval skeleton found in London’s Thames in 2018, believed to be a fisherman or sailor, was wearing boots that reached his thighs. Later, in England’s Restoration period, King Charles I and his Cavaliers donned riding boots that could either stand tall or fold into cuffs—often with heels to show status.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until the 1960s that thigh-high boots became linked with femininity and sex appeal. In 1962, Cristóbal Balenciaga introduced a knee-high boot, and a year later, Roger Vivier pushed the design further for Yves Saint Laurent, crafting alligator leather boots that reached up to the thigh. Vogue praised this evolution, saying, “This year’s best-looking legs will be marching up and down and back again in boots.”</p>
<p>This trend fit perfectly into the post-war “Youthquake,” a time when hemlines got shorter and sexual attitudes shifted. In Mary Quant’s era of the miniskirt, tall boots framed bare legs like never before—making them an icon of female empowerment and style.</p>
<p>Today, while thigh-high boots are a staple in women’s fashion, men wearing them is still a fresh idea. But pioneers like Pedro Pascal, who wore the same Saint Laurent boots earlier this year, are changing that. Designers like Rick Owens, Martine Rose, Givenchy, Maison Margiela, and GmbH have all embraced the trend, creating bold over-the-knee styles for men.</p>
<p>As fashion becomes more daring and gender boundaries blur, thigh-high boots on men feel like the next natural step. Whether paired with ballet flats or Mary Janes, these boots are proving that style is about courage and creativity—no matter who wears them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Hermès Surpasses LVMH to Become the World’s Most Valuable Luxury Brand</strong></h1>
<p>In a stunning shift in the luxury goods market, Hermès has overtaken LVMH to become the world’s most valuable luxury company. The move came after LVMH, the parent company of high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany &amp; Co., and Sephora, reported disappointing first-quarter sales, which sparked investor concerns.</p>
<p>LVMH’s latest earnings report missed analyst expectations, with a 3% decline in first-quarter sales—far below the anticipated 2% growth. The slowdown in sales was attributed to weaker demand in key markets, including the U.S., where shoppers reduced their purchases of beauty products and cognac, and China, where sales also remained sluggish. As a result, LVMH’s stock dropped by 7%, reducing its market capitalization to €246 billion, just behind Hermès, which now stands at €247 billion.</p>
<p>Jelena Sokolova, a senior equity analyst at Morningstar, highlighted that LVMH’s large exposure to the lower end of the luxury market has made it more vulnerable to market downturns. In contrast, Hermès, with its exclusive focus on high-end products like the $10,000 Birkin and Kelly handbags, has cultivated a wealthier client base that is more resilient to economic shifts. This shift in market valuation is seen as indicative of a broader post-pandemic trend, where wealthier consumers are becoming increasingly selective in their luxury purchases.</p>
<p>Hermès has long been known for its conservative production strategy, limiting its annual growth to around 6-7%. This tight control on supply ensures that demand for its products remains high, helping the brand weather economic downturns more effectively than its competitors. Flavio Cereda, who manages GAM’s Luxury Brands investment strategy, believes that the growth in LVMH’s fashion labels, particularly in the middle-range luxury sector, could be a point of concern. While LVMH has gained market share post-pandemic, the focus on more affordable luxury goods might be a risk in a more challenging economic environment.</p>
<p>LVMH’s recent performance is not isolated. Other luxury brands, including Kering (owner of Gucci), Richemont (which owns Cartier), and Prada, also experienced share declines, with LVMH leading the pack at a 7.2% drop. Analysts point to trade tensions, particularly the fallout from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements, as key factors contributing to the uncertainty in the luxury market.</p>
<p>The luxury sector was hoping for a rebound in 2024, but the latest figures show that a recovery may take longer than expected. LVMH’s key fashion and leather goods business, which includes Louis Vuitton and Dior, saw a 5% sales decline, highlighting the tough road ahead. According to RBC analyst Piral Dadhania, the current trading environment for luxury brands is “difficult,” and he has revised his sales forecast for LVMH this year from growth to flat sales.</p>
<p>With concerns of a global recession looming, the luxury industry faces a challenging year. Shares of companies like LVMH, Kering, and Burberry have fallen 14% since the end of March, while Richemont and Hermès saw declines of 13% and 5%, respectively. Bernstein analysts have lowered their sales forecast for the luxury sector, predicting a 2% decline this year, which would mark the industry’s longest downturn in over two decades.</p>
<p>As Hermès ascends to the top spot, it’s clear that the luxury market is undergoing a transformation. The industry’s biggest players will need to navigate economic uncertainties and shifting consumer preferences to remain competitive. The next chapter in this battle for luxury dominance will be a pivotal one for all involved.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a groundbreaking deal, the Prada Group has announced its agreement to acquire rival fashion house Versace from Capri Holdings for a whopping 1.25 billion euros ($1.4 billion). The move will bring two of Italy’s most iconic fashion brands under the same roof—marking a new chapter for both companies.</p>
<p>Versace, famous for its daring designs and signature Medusa logo, will now join forces with Prada, the powerhouse known for its “ugly chic” aesthetic and the youthful energy of its Miu Miu brand. Prada executives see massive potential in Versace, citing the brand&#8217;s significant untapped growth opportunities.</p>
<p>Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada’s chief marketing officer and the future leader of the company, emphasized that there’s no overlap in terms of creativity or customer base between the two brands. He believes the iconic Versace name, which ranks among the top 10 most recognizable global brands, holds immense value far beyond its current business performance.</p>
<p>While the deal is valued at 1.4 billion euros, the final price will be adjusted when it closes later this year. The acquisition will be funded by a new 1.5 billion euro debt package. However, Prada is clear that the focus is not on immediate synergies, but rather on sustainable growth and reinforcing each brand’s distinct identity.</p>
<p>Prada’s CEO, <strong>Andrea Guerra</strong>, made it clear that Versace will retain its “creative DNA” and “cultural authenticity” after the acquisition, benefiting from Prada’s industrial capabilities and operational expertise. There are no plans for a leadership shakeup—Donatella Versace will stay on as the <strong>chief brand ambassador</strong> and won’t be involved in creative decisions.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the recent move to bring in <strong>Dario Vitale</strong>, Miu Miu’s design head, as Versace’s new creative director had nothing to do with the acquisition. <strong>Guerra</strong> clarified that Vitale’s appointment was an independent decision made by him.</p>
<p>Versace was acquired by Capri Holdings (the parent company of Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo) for $2 billion back in 2018. However, the brand struggled to position itself in the era of “quiet luxury” and had a hard time keeping up with changing fashion trends.</p>
<p>At the time of the acquisition, Versace contributed about 20% to Capri Holdings’ 2024 revenues, totaling 5.2 billion euros. In comparison, under the Prada Group, Versace will represent 13% of total revenues, with Miu Miu making up 22%, and Prada itself contributing the bulk at 64%. Prada Group&#8217;s total revenue jumped 17%, reaching 5.4 billion euros last year.</p>
<p>Donatella Versace, who took the helm of the brand after her brother <strong>Gianni Versace</strong> was tragically murdered in 1997, shared her excitement about the new chapter for Versace. On Instagram, she expressed her honor at having the brand entrusted to a trusted Italian family business, adding, “I am ready to support this new era for the brand in any way I can.”</p>
<p>The Italian government also welcomed the deal, seeing it as a step toward securing Versace’s future in Italy. Industry Minister <strong>Adolfo Urso</strong> praised the acquisition, calling it a victory for &#8220;Made in Italy.&#8221;</p>
<p>This historic deal between Prada and Versace marks a significant shift in the luxury fashion industry. With both brands staying true to their roots while seeking new growth, this collaboration promises to have a lasting impact on the fashion world. For fans of bold, sexy silhouettes and timeless luxury, the future of Versace under Prada’s leadership looks brighter than ever.</p>
