Hotter Than Hell: Dua Lipa’s lil sis has collaborated with Nasty Gal
Nasty Gal are fast becoming the queens of collaborations, and this latest one has got us falling over the fashionista involved. It's only Dua Lipa's insanely stylish little sister.
Rising star and long-time fan of the brand, Rina Lipa has curated a summer collection with the international e-tailer, featuring her summer favourites.
What are her summer favourites have immediately become ours, because they're so damn gorgeous; From oversized acid wash denim and bralets to crop tops and urban tracksuit chic, we're sold.
Right: Plaid It So Good Checked Wide-Leg Pants. €21.00
The 18-year-old joined forces to work on the summer capsule campaign and product direction, working closely with the buying team to edit and self-style the best looks possible.
Did we mention she did this while sitting her A-Levels? The gal really knows how to multi-task. With a cool 659,000 Instagram followers to her name, she's looking to break into the acting world.
Nasty Gal was inspired by Rina's own laid-back style, and 1990s nostalgia. The range features androgynous oversized blazers with fierce tailoring, bralets, badass ripped denim, casual biker shorts and floral mini-dresses.
Right: All In a Days Work Oversized Blazer, €35.00
The youngster's eclectic personal style embodies the confident and carefree attitude of the clothing line itself, featuring hero pieces updated with mesh crop tops, embroidered dresses and oversized denim.
Speaking about her collaboration, Rina said;
“I loved working with Nasty Gal and the incredible dream team that helped this all come together. Exploring Venice Beach and LA with them for my first time there was surreal."
She told Miss Vogue: "I had never been to LA so it felt really authentic to keep the Nasty Gal origins in the place we shot. Everyone was really nice so it was a really comfortable environment."
Shot at Venice Beach by Felisha Tolentino, the clothes give the vibe of 90s hip-hop, reminiscent of the late Aaliyah's iconic looks.
"I think the collection is quite versatile for everyone," Rina told Miss Vogue.
"I think people could pair it with different things. It doesn’t have to be the whole outfit. But people have different senses of style, and they could also wear it completely."
"With age and being surrounded by different influences, now I go for a more baggy look, more urban, more colourful… I’m always a bit overdressed but that’s me."
Right: Let It Satin Ruched Cowl Midi Dress, €28.00
The product ranges from €10 up to €60 and is available in UK sizes 6-22, so anyone and everyone can get involved in Rina's introduction to the fashion world.
Born in London to Kosovan-Albanian parents, the sister of Grammy-winning artist Dua Lipa is heavily inspired by her older sibling's fierce style.
Dua's got her clothes organised in her own calendar, with a huge amount of designers chasing her up. Does Rina ever raid her sister's wardrobe though? You'd have to do it.
"I go in… and it’s just the best thing ever. I think it happened even before Dua started her career. I would go in and steal all her clothes and, as we’ve got a five-year gap, when I wore her clothes I felt older, I felt like I could go hang out with her friends," she said.
It's definitely not the last we'll be seeing of Rina, seeing as she's just begun accepting acting roles.
Her career is about to blow up, just like her style.
