Versace and Jimmy Choo are officially up for sale

Versace and Jimmy Choo are officially up for sale after the Federal Trade Commission blocked Tapestry's acquisition of Capri Holdings, the parent company of both brands as well as Michael Kors.

The sale raises questions about Donatella Versace's future with the label. She has served as its creative director since 1997, following the tragic murder of her brother, Gianni Versace. According to WWD, Donatella’s contract is set to expire in February, and it remains unclear whether she or Versace will renew the agreement. When contacted, representatives for Versace declined to comment.

Versace’s first-half year revenues fell 22% to $420 million, while Jimmy Choo’s revenues slipped less than 1%, reaching $313 million.

In 2018, Donatella sold Versace to Michael Kors Holdings for $2.1 billion. The company later rebranded as Capri Holdings.

New York-based Artsy released its 2024 Market Reca

New York-based Artsy released its 2024 Market Recap spotlighting key trends and the artists who redefined the commercial art world this year.

Leading the charge is Olaolu Slawn, aka Slawn the Nigerian-born, London-based creative whose rise is noteworthy. With a 1,082% increase in searches and inquiries, Slawn tops the list of 2024’s most buzzed-about artists.

Artsy credits the surge to everything from major press features to standout shows, but Slawn’s story runs deeper culturally.

Rooted in graffiti and skateboarding, he’s forged his own path, bypassing traditional art-world barriers much like trailblazers Virgil Abloh, KAWS, and Futura before him.
