1 week ago Milan fashion week: not just Versace dresses for sale, but the company itself

Donatella’s references to brother Gianni’s last collection in her latest show fuel rumours of possible departureIt is not just the dresses on the Versace catwalk that are for sale this Milan fashion week, but Versace itself. One of the most glamorous names in fashion is up for grabs, with Prada, its longtime rival for Milan bragging rights, thought to be close to purchasing the company.

After finding a photo of a woman smiling in a tree, he started to notice this was a recurrent theme, especially popular between the 1920s and 1950s. Over the years he accumulated 91 such photos, now collected into a book, Women in Trees. “A number of the photographers have created images that possess a remarkable depth and beauty,” he wrote in the book’s introduction. “The women exert a great effort to hold on to these trees without losing their balance.
