Vogue UK’s March cover girl is Lana Del Rey
It was bound to happen sooner or later, only our bets had been on a bit later. Lana Del Rey has landed her initial ever cover for Vogue by gracing the March 2012 problem of the British edition. Right after not too long ago landing a modelling contract with Next Model Management, the YouTube singer’s star has skyrocketed.
Of course the cover is best timing to coincide with her début album, Born To Die, which has raced up the charts this week. Dressed in a lemon dress from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 collection, Lana definitely looks correct at house on the front of the glossy with that flame-coloured hair and complete pout. Nonetheless the decision to put her on the cover will no doubt draw some backlash. Regardless of Vogue UK’s apparent fondness for the so-referred to as present day Nancy Sinatra, numerous (yours genuinely included) will be surprised to see the already very criticised Lana landing such a key coup.
“I am a lot of of the thousands of people enraptured by the throaty, seductive voice of Lana Del Rey,” says Alexandra Shulman in her editor’s letter. “Once I had observed Lana play at a modest occasion in London, I was convinced that she would be a fantastic Vogue cover girl, even although she is probably one particular of the newest stars in her field that the magazine has ever had on the cover.”

This campaign does a lot far more for creating sporty look high fashion than many of the designers who have tried to implement athletic looks on their runways. Just sayin’.
The model also participated in Reebok’s Satisfaction Campaign, which sought to survey European females for what most satisfies them.
“I travel a lot with my perform, so spending time with my family and pals is critical to me,” Christensen mentioned. She also mentioned reading in bed gives her the ultimate satisfaction. Whatever you say, Helena, but that body appears wasted on a great book.
Diesel falls victim to spoof website
Earlier today, members of the press and bloggers (such as Catwalk Queen) received a press release purporting to be from Diesel HQ International Press Office informing them of a new campaign from the brand.
The press release led to a new microsite – Dieselforwomen.com – that consists of controversial content material around the subject of abortion.
The site was clearly created to shock, and soon had folks talking on Twitter, but was it the ill-advised shock tactics of a huge brand, or something more sinister?
