Dua Lipa has teamed up with Bond NYC to release a charity t-shirt in aid of the victims of the Albania earthquake.
The ‘New Rules’ songstress, whose parents are Kosovo Albanian, shared the t-shirt design on her social media. She confirmed that 100% of the proceeds will go to the victims and families of those affected, helping to rebuild homes and the community.
The 6.4 magnitude earthquake occurred in Albania during the early hours of the morning on November 26, whilst most people were still asleep. It was the strongest tremor to hit the country in decades, killing 51 people and injuring hundreds more. It also left more than 14,000 people homeless due to the extent of damages to buildings in the community.

Onstage, Dua has a larger-than-life personality, dancing around in sky-high platforms with a raspy voice that commands attention. But when we meet, she instantly puts us at ease with a huge smile, chatting away about her excitement for being back in New York. “I love it here,” she says. “It’s a bit more hectic than London, but I love that so much and it’s always fun coming back.”

The 22-year-old is currently in the city for the Sunny Hill Festival, fronted by Lipa and organised by her father Dukagjin Lipa.
