Season 1, Ep. 7899

Prada has agreed to buy its smaller rival Versace in a billion dollar deal to unite two of the biggest designer fashion labels.


The deal to unite the two Italian brands has an estimated value of $1.36bn (£1.06bn), the Prada Group said on Thursday.


"We aim to continue Versace's legacy celebrating and re-interpreting its bold and timeless aesthetic," said Prada chairman Patrizio Bertelli.


The Prada Group already owns several other designer labels including Miu Miu and luxury footwear brand Church's.
