Business Consolidation through mergers & acquisitions are an everyday event for many sectors and industries, but global luxury brands tend to pride themselves on their creative legacy & cultural history -and of course their exclusivity & emotional connection with their own loyal customers.

The announcement that the Italian fashion house Prada, synonymous with classic luxury handbags, is buying Versace, sends an interesting message in the global luxury goods landscape.

At the core of business consolidation is the purchaser believes they can exploit the business acquired better than existing management. In short 1+1 does = 3.

The Fashion Industry is similar to media, advertising & entertainment sectors in that the creative talent within are the “business”! it needs creative talent being nurtured and encouraged. That’s how they started.

Both Prada and Versace have illustrious histories in creating strong brand recognition and as LMVH* has demonstrated, its possible to have multi-luxury brands under the same holding company leadership & goals.

Note LMVH owns a large range of international luxury brands including: Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Fendi), perfumes and cosmetics (Guerlain, Sephora), watches and jewellery (Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, TAG Heuer), and wines and spirits (Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Dom Pérignon)
