Gorgeous. Songwriting Genius. Fashion Icon. Studio Creation. Talented. Haunting. Awkward. Tumblr Queen. These are just a few of the words and phrases we’ve heard people throw around over the past few months in reference to the fastly famous Lana Del Rey. We’re not exactly what to make of the self-proclaimed “Gangsta Nancy Sinatra” just yet, but we are drawn to her, we love her sound, and that in and of itself is something to give credit for. It’s kind of like that feeling we had when we first laid our eyes and ears on Britney or Gaga. We’re intrigued. And we’ll admit it, we can’t stop listening to LDR’s freshly-leaked album Born To Die (our favorite tracks are “Off To The Races”, “Blue Jeans” and “Diet Mtn Dew” so far). And she’s already setting street-wear trends a plenty. Here’s a look at some of our favorite LDR looks so far, and her video-clip for “Born To Die.”

Obsession. That’s how we currently feel about CALVIN KLEIN. Even though CK began back in the late 60s, the designer hit his prime in the 90s with his simple, yet brilliant clothing and advertising. It was the perfect balance to the over-the-top Versace empire, and we love that both houses are having such huge and well deserved comebacks. So here’s a look back at some of our all-time favorite CK moments starting with Brooke Shields’ famous ads from the early 80s and leading up to our current favorite, Jennifer Lawrence’s flawless Oscar debut last year, and everything in between…
At age 14, Brooke Shields began modeling for Calvin Klein Jeans. Her ads, while rather tame by today’s standards, caused quite a stir in 1980, and was just the first of many controversial advertisements CK would release over the next three decades.
Calvin Klein scored big in the 90s with models Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg (then known as Marky Mark).
The new millennium welcomed Jamie Dornan (appropriately referred to as the male Kate Moss) and actress Eva Mendes as the new faces of Calvin Klein.
And more recently, supermodel Lara Stone did her part to promote the brand.
Actress – and spokesperson for Calvin Klein – Diane Kruger wears CK to the Met Costume Gala in 2010.
Actress Emma Stone wowed viewers – and style critics – in this backless peach Calvin Klein dress at the 2011 Golden Globes last January.
And finally, one of our favorite red-carpet moments ever: Academy Award nominee Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein at the 2011 Oscars. Perf-ection!
“Need. Need. Need.” That’s what it sounded like in our NY office when we took one look at the new arrivals page at NEED SUPPLY.

As you can clearly see, that translates amazingly well to their current stock!
