Dua Lipa and Donatella Versace have announced a collaboration on a summer womenswear collection called “La Vacanza.”
This see-now, buy-now collection will be revealed on May 23 at a fashion show in Cannes.
The event will take place during the same week as the Cannes Film Festival, but it will not be a part of the official line-up.
As many celebrities will be in the French coastal town, the runway show is expected to be a star-studded affair.
In a press release, Donatella said that working with Dua on this collection has been exciting.
She praised Dua’s creative vision and described her as strong, fearless, and free.
Donatella looks forward to capturing the feeling of summer and its colors with a special and intimate fashion show in Cannes.
Although the collection is still largely unknown, it is expected to include many holiday-ready party dresses of the kind that Lipa wore when opening and closing the Versace runway show in Milan in September, which was her first runway appearance.
Dua Lipa, who has been a Versace girl for some time, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating that she and Donatella have formed a strong bond over the years.
Lipa has been fronting the Versace Autumn/Winter 2021 campaign, and she wore three Versace outfits to the 2021 Grammy Awards.
She also opted for the brand again at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
Lipa thanked Donatella and the entire team for their support since the beginning of her career and expressed her pride in the La Vacanza collection, saying that she could not wait to debut it in Cannes.
The La Vacanza collection will be available in-store and online at Versace.com immediately after the show on May 23.
Analysis and Commentary:
The collaboration between Dua Lipa and Donatella Versace on the La Vacanza collection is an exciting development in the fashion industry.
Both women are well-known figures in their respective fields and have a large following, which will undoubtedly bring a lot of attention to the collection.
The see-now, buy-now format is also becoming more popular, as it allows customers to purchase pieces immediately after they are revealed on the runway.
This approach can help to increase sales and build hype around the collection.
The decision to hold the runway show during the same week as the Cannes Film Festival is strategic, as it allows the brand to tap into the media attention surrounding the festival.
Additionally, the presence of many celebrities in Cannes at that time will create a lot of buzz around the event, further boosting its visibility.
Overall, the La Vacanza collection is expected to be a celebration of summer, with colorful and playful pieces that will appeal to a wide audience.
It will be interesting to see the final products and how they are received by the fashion community and consumers alike.
