We look forward to working with chief creative officer Donatella Versace, chief executive officer Jonathan Akeroyd, and their incredibly talented team to continue to drive Versace’s growth and success globally.”

Capri Holdings also owns the Jimmy Choo brand, and says the addition of Versace will help grow group revenues to US$8bn in the long-term. This will be split across Michael Kors (US$5.0bn), Versace (US$2.0bn) and Jimmy Choo (US$1.0bn).
