Versace

Bold prints and gold hardware are the signatures of Versace, the Milan house founded by Gianni Versace, whose codes include the Medusa head, the Greca key pattern and Barocco baroque prints. The range covers women's and men's ready-to-wear, eveningwear, handbags, shoes, jewellery, eyewear and homeware, with diffusion lines such as Versace Jeans Couture at lower price points. Ownership changed in December 2025, when Prada Group completed its acquisition of Versace from Capri Holdings, so strategy and distribution may evolve. The brand sells through its boutiques, website, department stores and online retailers. Buyers should be aware that main-line and diffusion products differ considerably in price, materials and production, check product labels before buying, and use authorised channels, as Medusa and Greca designs are often copied.
