Lana Del Rey stars in new H&M Ad Campaign for Fall 2012 singing her track “Blue Velvet”.  The commercial was directed by Johan Renck and it has a strange, haunting, David Lynch mood about it.

Lana Del Rey is 26, but her real name is Elizabeth “Lizzy” Woolridge Grant.  She began performing in clubs in New York City at age 18, and signed her first recording contract when she was just 21 years old.  Since the release of her single Video Games in 2011 she’s become an overnight star and a fashion icon.  Her 60’s retro look was the inspiration for Milan Designers Dean and Dan Caten’s DSquared2 Fall 2012 Collection, and the latest Spring 2013 runways were full of that 60’s vibe.

In this H&M Fall Winter 2012 campaign video Lana Del Rey sings her latest track Blue Velvet, which you can buy at iTunes. The song is from her upcoming album  Born to Die – The Paradise Edition which is set for release November 13, 2012. Check out Lana’s campaign video for H&M here now and  visit H&M.COM  to see the full collection.

Get the gorgeous beauty look  that makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury and hairstylist Sam McKnight created for the DSquared2 Fall 2012 collection that was inspired by the 60’s and the icon of today, Lana Del Rey. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury gave the girls a gorgeous supermodel brow, and used thick black liner to create a wing. She poured on the mascara and added two layers of lashes. Charlotte finished off the look using MAC Spice Lip liner and FleshPot lipstick to give the girls that sexy Lana del Rey pout.   “It’s all about the feline eye, the pouty lip and the lash“.

DSquared2 fashion shows are always one of the best shows of Milan Fashion Week.  Dean & Dan always stage a show that is entertaining and full of beautiful clothes that you actually want to own and wear.  The concept behind their Fall 2012 fashion show is a 60’s ‘Back to School’ high school prom.  As the boys told us backstage,  “these are rich kids with a bad attitude“.

Backstage at DSquared2 Spring Summer 2012 it was fashion meets rock and roll; the inspiration of their fashion show – the Glastonbury Music Festival. Designers Dean and Dan Caten know how to create an unforgettable experience and for Spring Summer 2012 they brought the Glastonbury festival experience to life from the music to the muddy runway. As all the top models told us backstage – this is definitely the hottest fashion show of Milan Fashion week.

Dean and Dan confess they were inspired by every glam rock chic from Kate Moss to Beyonce for their DSquared2 Spring Summer 2012 collection. MAC Makeup aritst Charlotte Tilbury layered on the eye glitter and hair stylist Sam McKnight used Pantene Aqua Light leave in conditioner to give that “two day old slept in look”, and to make sure every model looked individual and cool.

Dean and Dan know how to make clothes that you actually want to wear and their spectacular fashion shows transport you to a place where you dream to be. From their cool jeans and t-shirts, gorgeous leather jackets to the hot beachwear this collection rocked.
