Lady Gaga [1] has always loved Versace, as you can tell from her countless red carpet appearances [2]. So, we weren't shocked to learn that she has teamed up with Donatella Versace to create a capsule collection [3] for a cause that's near and dear to her heart. To celebrate Pride Month [4], as well as the 10th anniversary of her hit album Born This Way [5], Gaga and Donatella have collaborated on a line that gives back to the singer's Born This Way Foundation [6], which is a charity that provides mental health support for the LGBTQ+ community [7]. The collection features three pieces: a unisex T-shirt (£200), one in black and one in white, and a beret (£240). The designs feature the Versace logo in Pride colours, and a portion of proceeds from sales of the collection will go to the foundation.
Versace will also auction a replica of the iconic leather jacket worn by Gaga on her accompanying world tour along with the capsule collection. The jacket took over 400 hours to complete in Versace's Milan atelier and features accents of the brand's signature Metal Mesh, as well as golden trims and buckles. The exclusive piece will be auctioned from 1 June by Omaze [8], a US-based fundraising company that partners with charities, and all proceeds from the auction will be donated to Gaga's foundation.
