Versace High Summer La Vacanza will be presented on May 23 in Cannes. The new collection is designed and co-produced for summer 2023 fashion by the creative director of the Italian Maison and Dua Lipa, in the see now, buy now formula. The title already tells us everything about the theme of this exclusive collab, which arrives just in time to be flaunted throughout the summer. Indeed, it will be available in-store and online on the luxury house’s website immediately after the show.
The singer, a longtime friend of the brand and its director, did not hesitate to show her enthusiasm for this initiative: “I am absolutely thrilled to have co-designed the women’s “La Vacanza” collection for Versace with Donatella. She and I have formed such a strong bond over the years, and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from her and the whole team since the very beginning of my career. For her to give me the honor of co-designing this collection and letting all my summer inspirations go wild has been a dream.” Dua commented on the upcoming debut of this stellar collaboration. “I am so very proud of this collection and cannot wait to debut it in Cannes.”
At the same time, Versace house chief creative officer also expressed her satisfaction: “I have always been inspired by a collaborative design process. Working with Dua on this collection has been very exciting and I love the dynamic between us. Dua is strong, fearless, and free and her creative vision is exceptional. Summer is a magical time. We will capture this feeling and the colors of that time of the year with a truly special and intimate fashion show in Cannes.”

Afterall, the synergy between the creative director of Versace and the British pop star has been known for some time: at the 2022 Grammy Awards Dua Lipa showed up wearing a real tribute look to Donatella (complete with very smooth and blonde hair ). Furthermore, the singer never misses Versace fashion shows, such as the last one in Los Angeles in March 2023. The numerous collaborations on various red carpet occasions are also well known and it is precisely with Versace that Dua Lipa has had the opportunity to walk the catwalk for the first time on a fashion runway.
