The collection is trend-minded and edgy, featuring a lot of python material and dragons, one of Rihanna’s favourite motifs. In fact, he tries to envision Rihanna and Hadid in his pieces as he’s designing them. He, of all people, knows that if you can get the right people in your clothing, you'll be on the right track. That, and the fact that Versace recently shared a photo of a python pattern similar to what he’s working on. Instead of getting discouraged, however, he took it as a sign that he was doing things right. “It was just a coincidence,” Andrea says. “It’s flattering, it’s like oh my god, we’re on the same track.” He did release a sample of his own on his personal Instagram just so people know his Nyden collection has been in the works, and when it does come out, that he didn’t copy Versace. Great minds think alike.
