Level 5 · 8 mo agoCapri trying to push Versace into quiet luxury was a fundamental misunderstanding of the brand. You do not buy Versace to be subtle. Prada dropping the price point back to reality is the only fix here.

Level 10 · 8 mo agoI find it hilarious Prada bought Versace for a discount. Miuccia said 'I can fix her' and handing that chaotic energy to the Miu Miu guy is pure genius.
