Versace and Capri Holdings named Dario Vitale, previously design and image director at Miu Miu, as Chief Creative Officer, effective April 1, 2025, making him the first person outside the Versace family to lead the house; Donatella Versace moved into a new Chief Brand Ambassador role.

Prada entered a definitive agreement to buy 100% of Versace from Capri Holdings for a cash consideration based on an enterprise value of €1.25 billion, adding the Milan-founded fashion house to its Prada and Miu Miu brands.

Dario Vitale unveiled his debut Versace collection in an intimate event at Milan's Pinacoteca Ambrosiana during Milan Fashion Week, a full-throttle return to the overtly sexualized Versace of the 1980s and 1990s staged inside a stylised, lived-in palazzo rather than a traditional runway.

Prada finalized its purchase of Versace from Capri Holdings after receiving all required regulatory clearances, with Lorenzo Bertelli set to become the brand's executive chairman.

Versace announced that Dario Vitale would leave his role as creative director by mutual agreement, only months after his acclaimed September debut collection and shortly after Prada Group completed its acquisition of the house from Capri Holdings.

Versace confirmed Pieter Mulier, who had just left Alaïa after five years as its creative director, as Dario Vitale's successor, ending the vacancy left by Vitale's December 2025 dismissal; no date for his debut show has been set.

Prada Group's net revenues rose 16% to €3.05 billion in the first half of 2026, with Versace contributing €305 million as the newly acquired brand worked to lift retail execution.
