Lana Del Rey Gets Made Into Leather – Inspiration Taken From Her Face

The human body is a fantastic thing isn't it? We are one of the most advanced beings on the Planet, the only mammal to perfect the art of speech, and in some cases like Katie Price and the cast of The Only Way Is Essex, almost perfecting the art of speech.

But sometimes terrible things happen don't they? Genocide, murder, xenophobia, all terrible, terrible things that have been performed by human hands. The human race can excel to monumental levels, or sink to disgusting depths. And it seems that sometimes people relish in doing things just to make people annoyed or upset.

Step forward designer peddler, Mulberry. Not content with pushing Alexa Chung further into our faces by naming one of their notoriously expensive bags after her, they're at it again, with one of the more bizarre pieces of music/fashion amalgamation. Can you guess which one hit wonder, which financially backed by her rich daddy star has been immortalized in cow hide and not a stitch of forethought? None other than Lana Del Rey of course.

Obviously fashion and music goes hand in hand, and always has done. There's a been a veritable landslide of failed fashion/collaborations floating around, with only a few making it any lasting impression for longer than a season. It's only Victoria Beckham who has managed to make a profitable jump from "music" to fashion, which just goes to show how tepid the waters must be to make an impression.

The 'Video Games' and not much else singer was lauded by Mulberry this week by being sat front and centre at the Mulberry show at London Fashion Week and having Emma Hill, Mulberry's creative director saying

"I love Lana's nostalgic references to bygone glamour and the fact that her look is retrospective, yet so modern. This inspired us to create a bag that was timeless, refined and elegant."

What a heap of steaming fashion nonsense that was.

Del Rey has clearly whored out her very name (which isn't even Del Rey, but we suppose the Grant bag wouldn't be as enticing) to whoever is willing to make something pretty named after her. The daft pop slag. She's only had one album, that only worked on the hype that surrounded it instead of being a forward thinking, revolutionary album. She's only had a few singles out for crying out loud. What's that about?

Anyway the Del Rey bag is available for $1,000, thats ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS everybody. Which is the equivalent of the NSPCC being able to answer around 32,000 calls that might go unanswered, or 100,000 penny sweets. That's a Russell Grant daily allowance right there.

What a ridiculous fashion farce.
