Lana Del Rey signs with modelling agency
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 6 January 2012
Lana Del Rey will be getting some fashionable representation this year from the Next Model Management, the modelling firm whose celebs-who-can-put-clothes-on division already represents the likes of Ellie Goulding and Jessie J.
The very buzzy singer is already proving popular in fashion circles, and the deal with the Next agency, confirmed this week, could see Del Rey working with various high profile designers as her music career fully takes off in 2012.
Given the hype in 2011, Del Rey’s first album for Polydor, ‘Born To Die’, out later this month, has a lot to live up to, and a backlash has already begun in some circles, with Polydor boss Ferdy Unger-Hamilton having to deny rumours the singer’s output and persona had all been manufactured by label execs.
Still, the new album’s title track, out this week, and another called ‘National Anthem’ which leaked over the Christmas break, seem to deliver the goods.
