Sale of Italian fashion house Versace could be announced “within hours”, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera has reported today, adding that the brand could be valued at $2bn.
Versace’s vice-president Donatella Versace, sister of late founder Gianni, has called a staff meeting for tomorrow when the official announcement could be made. US private equity group Blackstone already has a 20 percent stake in the business.
Milan-based Versace has declined to comment on the report.
