Versace to show pre-fall in New York

First came their acquisition by Capri Holdings, formerly Michael Kors
Holdings. Now, Versace apparently is getting a little more American at
heart with a fashion show on December 2 at 7 p.m. for their pre-fall
collection. The news was first reported by WWD.

December 2 holds a special place in Versace creative director Donatella
Versace’s heart, as it is her later brother and Versace founder Gianni
Versace’s birthday. The location for the fashion show has yet to be
revealed. This marks the first time the brand has done a fashion show for
pre-fall.

This show wasn’t at the behest of Michael Kors, however. It was reported
that Versace had made the decision to do this show in New York before they
were acquired by Capri Holdings. Versace won’t be the only headlining act
for December. Chanel will also be showing their Métiers d’Art collection at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art that same week.
