On Thursday, the three-time Grammy winner, 27, and the legendary Italian fashion designer, 68, revealed the news of their co-designed high-fashionsummer collectionfor the namesake brand.
The specifics of the capsule, named “La Vacanza” (translated to “vacation” in English), are not yet unveiled. However, the womenswear pieces will debut in a fashion show of the same name on May 23 in Cannes, France, and will be available to shop in stores and onversace.comright after.
Over the past few months, the “Levitating” singer, whoco-chairedMonday’sMet Gala, has become one to watch in the fashion world and this new partnership is only proof of that.
In a press release announcing the news, Lipa called the project — for which she let her “summer inspirations go wild” — a “dream” and opened up about her relationship with the label’s chief creative officer.
“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,” noted Lipa on the “honor.” She concluded,“I am so very proud of this collection and cannot wait to debut it in Cannes.”

Perhaps we should’ve seen this mega duo coming. In March, Lipa made an appearance at the fashion house’s buzzy star-filled show in Los Angeles, wearing ablack floor-length gownfeaturing a bow-like bust and a cutout neckline.
And nearly two years ago, she made her runway debut with Versace during their Spring/Summer 2022 show at Milan Fashion Week in September 2021, the year during that she also fronted the brand’s Fall/Winter campaign.
Then, Lipa commanded the catwalk in a black cutout suit with colorful safety pins and bright green and blue eyeliner. She also closed out the show in a mermaid-like pink two-piece set reminiscent of theoutfit she wore to perform at the Grammy Awardsmonths before.
