'Donatella's been dethroned in the most terrible way - by the men who can't wait to sell Versace to Prada'


When Donatella Versace's older brother Gianni was murdered outside his Miami mansion in 1997, she made him a solemn vow.

Indeed, sources say the Italian fashion queen has been deliberately ousted in a plot to smooth the way for the brand to be bought by rival label Prada, after profits slumped during the pandemic. I’m told ‘party lines’ had been drawn for some time between her and Idol and Gintzburger (who has earned the nickname ‘Nothingburger’ – US slang for someone who receives a lot of attention but has little significance – by some waspish industry insiders). She attracts, and she continues to work with, Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway, and music legends like Sir Elton John, Cher, Lady Gaga and Madonna.
