Joining the seductive Kate Moss or Zoé Kravitz in the role of Yves Saint-Laurent ambassadors, Dua Lipa is the new face of the Libre YSL perfume .
Dua Lipa, a muse that nothing predestined for such a fate
Dua Lipa didn’t have an easy childhood, and nothing predestined her to become one of the biggest stars on the planet.

Throughout this time, his father and mother worked in low-skilled jobs, with the sole aim of making ends meet. Dua Lipa therefore did not have a golden childhood. Then they decided to return to Kosovo. But life in her home country did not appeal to Dua Lipa. The young teenager therefore campaigned to return to London and join the Sylvia Young Theater School. His parents agreed. Dua Lipa returned to England at the age of 15, staying alone with a family friend.
