Lana Del Rey Covers British Vogue + Read Interview

Marcel — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:58:38 +0000

Lana Del Rey has sure got herself a great promotional team. Rey is yet to reach ‘Pop-Star’ stardom but she is already beating her Pop-peers by gracing the March issue of British Vogue. Read some excerpts from her interview below.

On Christopher Kane and Emilio de la Morena choosing her music to accompany their spring/summer 2012 shows:

I had no idea about the fashion shows. But I think they chose Video Games because it embodies summertime sadness. Fashion is inspired by youth and nostalgia and draws inspiration from the best of the past. I think both the song and the collections touch on the light and the dark side of life.

On her rise to musical stardom being almost accidental:

I was always singing, but didn’t plan on pursuing it seriously. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.

On choosing her stage name:

I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba – Lana Del Rey reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.
