Stylin' chanteuse


Natasha Khan

Can we talk about Natasha Khan for a moment? Whether you know her as Bat for Lashes, or---BLASPHEMY--don't know her at all, one look tells you almost everything you need to know about her. She's equal parts whimsical, stunning, and eccentric. In a land of black skinny jeans or ripped tights and tunics, it's refreshing to see someone wear a lion's mane around their neck with such grace.

In all seriousness though, Khan serves as a reminder to all singers out there--music doesn't have to be your only art. Beyond her ethereal tones, this lady's style is one of her most compelling attributes. She may be poutin' in this picture, but you better believe it takes a solid amount of optimism and confidence to stare at a pile of peacock plumes and think: "of course! I was looking for a backpiece to wear tonight ANYWAY!"

Here's to you, Natasha. May you inspire the masses to break out of their tired routines of buffalo plaid boyfriend shirts and ballet flats.
