Prada’s deal to buy Versace revives hopes for a ‘Made in Italy’ luxury champion after many other family-founded brands ended up in French, Swiss or US hands, and comes as many Italian groups are outperforming the struggling sector.

The $1.375 billion deal brings one of fashion’s best-known Italian labels back under Italian control after it was sold to US-listed Capri Holdings for $2.15 bn in 2018.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
