Lipa’s busy week in France
Lipa is not only visiting the France city for Cannes but she will also debut her collaboration with high-end fashion brand Versace on Tuesday. The collection called ‘La Vacanza’ will be available on Versace’s official website just after the fashion show concludes.
Her collaboration with the legendary Italian fashion designer for a high-fashion summer collection is no surprise. Lipa has been working with Donatella Versace for several years now.
