Versace and Dazed MENA Collaborate on Beirut Project to Aid Lebanon Relief

publication · 2026-04-04

Versace has partnered with Dazed MENA on a special editorial project photographed in Beirut, Lebanon, to mark the brand's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The collaboration features a self-shot cover by photographer Myriam Boulos, who also captured images of the city's creative community. Inspired by Beirut's connection to Versace's identity, the project was released on April 3, 2024. In response to the ongoing crisis in Lebanon, Dazed MENA is donating all proceeds from the cover story to two local NGOs: Beit Aam and Man Wa Salwa. Since early March 2024, Lebanon has experienced military attacks, resulting in significant casualties and displacement. According to Lebanese health authorities and UNICEF, over 1,000 people have been killed, including more than 100 children, with numbers continuing to rise. The conflict has forcibly displaced over one million individuals, creating one of the largest displacement crises globally. Israeli displacement orders now affect approximately 14 percent of Lebanon's territory. This initiative reflects Dazed MENA's commitment to supporting regional communities, including those in Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The publication will be available for purchase indefinitely through the Dazed MENA shop until stocks are depleted, with all sales directed toward relief efforts.
