1. Lustre lookThis glimmering top and cropped metallic trousers play to the subtle sideof glam dressing. Pile on sparkly accessories and add kitten heels for re-
fined evening style.
2. Artsy playCombine prints that are worthy of gilded frames for a fashion-forward look.
Grown-up and elegantly realised in a pencil skirt, the op-art print complements
the Monet-inspired patterned top and jacket perfectly.
3. Modern mademoiselleWhen a cinched shimmering coat is teamed with a sequinned mini, you get ladylike with a youthful twist. Gem-decorat-ed gloves, ballerina ats and a tote bag further bestow timeless grace.
4. Sporty edgePut an urban spin on the studded gure-hugging LBD with silver wedge sneakers. Then drape a oral ocked jacket over
your shoulders for a look that oozes attitude.

Shes graced the cover
of VOGUE, inspired abest-selling handbagand been portrayed
by top photographers. When
it comes to marrying musicand style, Lana Del Rey is, byall denitions, the top of the
pops. Yet, just two years ago,
nobody knew who this Amer-ican singer/songwriter was.
Now shes the star of H&Mslatest campaign.
It really is her. Lana Del Rey steps into theber-cool Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn andshe is absolutely gorgeous. She is tiny,slight of frame, and, apart from her fasci-nating charisma equal parts innocent girland adult seductress the 26-year-old iswearing a crisp mens shirt, a varsity jack-et, blue jeans and blue Converse high-topsneakers. Slightly dressed down from themore glamorous, urban and slightly sexierlooks weve come to recognise her for and which she has herself described asGhetto Mongasque, Gangster NancySinatra or Lolita Lost in the Hood butnevertheless a stunner.
Ive never really had a defned style,
she explains over a hot drink in a quiet,thoughtful voice.
million YouTube hits. Lana Del Reys
immediate success came, rst and fore-
most, from the unique, nostalgic, yet
fresh sound shed managed to create.
I like to write about the way things used
to be and paint pictures of my memories
with beautiful words and melodies, she
says today of her hit album Born to Die,
which has topped the iTunes charts in 19
different countries.
I wanted the record to sound dark and
glamorous and remind me of the hot
summertime. [My producers] lled the
tracks with lush strings and sound effects
like cicadas chirping and girls laughing.
The music and DIY footage mightve set
things in motion, but soon the singers
signature look was as well-known as her
songs. The clothes could vary, but the
bouffant hair, bee-stung lips, long acrylic
nails (painted blood red on the day of our
interview), even longer fake lashes and
layers of shiny jewellery were always allthere.
I know more about jewellery than I do
about fashion, Lana Del Rey condes.
And I love emeralds and diamonds.
When asked about her style icons, she
cites Lauren Bacall as a huge inuence.
I wear lots of jeans, white Oxford shirts
and white tennis dresses. I also love beau-
tiful diamonds and long acrylic nails.
And that is perhaps the secret behind Lana
Del Reys success, both musically and as
a trendsetter. Focusing on the classic icons
of the Americana wardrobe/songbook,
she can pick and mix the best of differ-
ent decades. She will draw on inuences
from jazz, folk and pop in her songs. And
wear pieces inspired by the 1920s, 1950sor 1960s, for both men and women, when
performing them.
It is almost unimaginable now, but just a
few short years ago, the incredible Lana
del Rey was still an unknown singer, try-
ing to get by in New York City without a
proper place to stay.
Back then, she sang jazzy folk and pop
at open-mic nights around Williamsburg
and the Lower East Side.
Then on 1 July 2011, a sweet, melan-cholic clip set to a sad song about pas-
sionate love entitled Video Games landed
on YouTube the supernova that was to
become a global phenomenon had been
set in motion. Video Games was straight
out of Lana Del Reys creative universe;
it was she whod edited the pictures of old
Hollywood and of herself singing. Five
months later the clip had spawned 20

The holidays are ast approaching and its
time to do your holiday shopping! Shop-
ping or other people is hard. Its not like
shopping or yoursel, is it? Quite oten,
thats what it turns out to be. Admit it,
youve gone present hunting beore and ended up
with more stu or yoursel than or other people.
We all do it. What you need is a starting point, and
were here to go through every type o person
you need to buy or this Christmas.
We start o with one o the toughest ones: the
music mogul. Stuck on what to buy the person who
just listens to records? Well, orget the boring and
impersonal download vouchers, we are here to give
you suggestions thatll be music to their ears.
What better way to show o the band that you love
than wearing it right on your chest? Here we have a
ew examples or every type o music lover. For the
indie guy we have a white Kasabian tee, or the hip
hop obsessive we have Run DMC T-shirt, and orthe classic rocker we have a unique Jimi Hen-
drix printed stubs T-shirt.
Mens suits back then are pretty much what suits
are based on now. Theyve just gotten a bit slimmer,
thats all. Even the poorest o people wore some
sort o smart attire back then, so youve got no
excuse. An example o classic style can be ound in
the double breasted navy hopsack suit. Traditionally
adorned by gangsters in most TV shows and mov-
ies, but has always been the epitome o class.
Other popular items that will show o the gentle-
man lying dormant in you is the Topman Design ur
coat, an ideal purchase or your winter wardrobe. A
edora hat is also a welcomed addition to any
smart outft, which i put with some paisley braces,
works wonders.

BEYOND THE HYPE:BLAKE JACOBSEN
Blake Jacobsen is an 18year old art studentand blogger of TheStyle Manual from L.A.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and
where you live.
My name is Blake Jacobsen and I am an
18 year old photographer, blogger, and
art student. I recently moved to Los An-
geles, California after spending much ofmy life in a coffee shop planning an es-
cape from the Midwestern United States.
(You would have done the same!) The
golden cornelds that once painted the
interior of my bedroom windows have
suddenly been replaced by a vista of
smog and power lines, with Los Angeles
skyline ornamenting the horizon. Living
in Los Angeles has revealed a plethora of
inspiring new outlets. It has been rather
overwhelming trying to sink my teeth
into it allboth guratively and literally!
*Self-diagnosed food-addict here!*
Im currently studying photography at
the Art Center College of Design, with an
emphasis on fashion and editorial coordi-
nating. Apart from my artistic endeavors,
Ive grown a fond liking towards coffee,
cats, 90s music, and astrology. Of course,
everything is subjective to the fact that
Im still a work in progress. My interests
have become relatively ubiquitous.
Unfortunately, that episode didnt air until
a later time. (And by that, Im referring to
sixth grade.) In school, my peers mocked
me for how I dressed. They didnt un-
derstand the inspiration and vision that I
was channeling when getting dressed in
the morning. I embraced solitude and be-
gan cultivating creativity from their acts.
Looking back, I now wholly appreciate
those awkward stages. They have devel-
oped my character; each being a step in
a ladder that Im still climbing. Now, I
no longer wake up and envision what theworld would approve of me wearing. I
dress myself not giving the slightest f***
what people think. That is what I nd
most important.
How do you describe the fashion scene
in Los Angeles compared to other ma-
jor cities/fashion capitals?
I must say that I am extremely impressed
with the fashion scene! I havent yet vis-
ited other major cities or fashion capitals,
so Im unable make a valid comparison;
however, the fact that not every individu-al I come across on the street is a valley-
girl (or bro) brings me great pleasure.
A fashion rule you never break:
Dressing according to my body type. I
wont step a foot outside of my house if I
feel self conscious of what I am wearing.
I wouldnt do that to myself. You have to
be condent in what youre wearing.
What are your passions?
With age, Ive become passionate about so
many thingshowever, nothing trumps
my passion for photography. Photogra-
phy has enabled me to create images that
have the potential of evoking a billow of
emotions when one is stricken by the bit-
tersweet nostalgia that accompanies the
reality of a photograph. When capturing
moments such as these, its as if Im testing
the laws of time by prolonging instances
that cannot be revisited. Nothing has everconsumed me quite like photography has.
In terms of my facetious interests, I par-
ticularly enjoy reading and writing in the
bathtub with my BFF, Adele.
How did you rst get interested in fash-
ion and why is it important?
I view fashion as another component to
my artistic and personal brand; a creative
outlet, allowing me to author an immedi-
ate impression on others. However, noth-
ing happened overnight. My sense of style
was once associated with whatever facetof life I was most consumed by at the
time. In fourth grade, when I self-identi-
ed as Ash Ketchum, I wore unbuttoned,
collared shirts with cuffed blue jeans. I
spiked my hair and kept a Pokdex in my
messenger bag! My ensemble would have
been complete if it werent for the fact that
I couldnt wear a baseball cap to school
I also recall a distinct phase when I only
wore orange clothing.

What do you think is the most recent notable
trend to appear/reappear, and what are your
thoughts on it?
Flare jeans. I cannot entertain the idea of why some-
one would want their legs to appear wider.
What is the most underrated item in menswear
and womenswear?
In menswear, hats are utterly underrated. Ive
noticed most men dwell over their hair, when in
reality, a simple hat generates far more effective
of an aesthetic.
In womenswear, undergarments: bodysuits, garter
belts, and corsets. Subtle accents of lingerie are in-
credibly necessary (and sexy), in my opinion.
Your favorite colour(s) of the moment are:
Black!
What is your next must have purchase?
Black, leather, wing-tipped ankle boots. They
would go flawlessly with the black slim suit I
dont yet own.
What is the ultimate showpiece in your closet?
My leather biker jacket. I feel as though a part of me
is missing when not wearing it. Leather seriously
has a very special place in my heart!
In the year 2016 you will be:
Comfortably situated in a loft apartment someone
deep within the hollows of Brooklyn, New York. By
then I will have earned my degree in photography,
and hopefully working diligently to earn a name for
myself within the industry. I will have two cats: one
white, one black. The walls of my apartment will
be lled with poetic, black and white photos, all of
which I have taken. My coffee table will be home
to a pile of books lled with the notorious works
of Annie Leibovitz and Tim Walker. By then I will
have a Keurig coffee brewer. And if not, then I have
failed and no longer deserve to live.
What would you say to someone seeking
fashion advice?
Find what best suits your body then expand upon it.
Nothing is instantaneous, so be prepared to invest
time in personalizing a style that quintessentially
parallels your character. It will prove enigmatic at
rst, but will be absolutely worth in the end. Mark
Twain once said, Naked people have little or no
inuence on society. Aim to inspire.
I fndblackto be far
more poetic than color.
