A behind-the-scenes look at DuaLipa’s collaboration with Donatella Versace. Watch the full video here:
” and we’re still thinking about the pink power suits, the Barbie bouffant hairdos, and the shiny metallic leathers and crystal embellishments. Now, we get to see how the collection came together, with a short documentary that captures the iconic duo’s creative process, from meeting in Los Angeles to go over sketches, shooting the campaign in Ibiza, and casting in Cannes the days before the show.
“Amore!” They two greet each other as Versace arrives on set in Ibiza and knocks on Dua’s dressing room. “I was this close to coming out naked for you,” the pop singer adds, laughing, motioning towards the camera. “I’m glad I didn’t.” Only true friends, of course, understand the inherent humor in surprise nude attacks. Discussing the shoes in the collection the two speak as in a play: “And flat shoes?” Donatella asks rhetorically at one point.
The admiration is mutual, naturally. “Working on this collection was a dream, period!,” Dua confirms in an email. “There is no better partner than Donatella. She was so supportive of me throughout this process and gave me the confidence to freely express my ideas, from the early stages of sketching looks to executing the final runway show.”
Dua has long been a fan of the label, and her knowledge of everything Versace is likely another reason why this was a dream collaboration for her. “There’s a 1993 Versace campaign featuring Naomi Campbell and Kristen McMenamy that I drew inspiration from for my music video for 'New Rules,' she reveals. “In the image, Kristen is carrying Naomi on her back. I loved the idea of these two legendary women looking after each other like that, holding each other up.
, the same season that featured bold black and white polka dots that Dua and Donatella turned into one of the key prints for “La Vacanza,” remixed with the label’s iconic butterfly print., the butterfly is a motif which the pop star has worn throughout the years; it also seems to hold a special significance. In the middle of their final fitting and casting for the collection in Cannes, Donatella shared a touching anecdote.
