t’s only fitting that the most fun
and eclectic singer-songwriter
in the biz would get the full-on
rock-star treatment for her first
Teen Vogue cover. Kesha, whose
full name is Kesha Rose Sebert,
embraced the role of polished
rocker–with–a–1970s–twist
during her photo session with
Giampaolo Sgura. The Rising
Star expert took a break from
writing music to spend the
day with us at Solar Studios,
outside Los Angeles. “The
shoot was mellow and re-
ally great,” she says. “It was
a throwback to old-school
Mick Jagger and Marianne
Faithfull and all my other
favorite musicians.”

he blonde beauty curated her own playlist
of Iggy Pop, T. Rex, and Beyoncé during the
shoot, and loved the Saint Laurent–influenced
outfits stylist Patrick Mackie created especially
for her. “A lot of my personal fashion inspiration is
actually from men, but I like to make it feminine,”
Kesha says, adding, “I’m a little bit obsessed with
Mick Jagger. When I’m bored, I look through old
pictures of him for style ideas.”
The vision for her on-set beauty was all about
that classic glam-rock vibe—Kesha’s trademark
rainbow hair, head-to-toe glitter, and face paint
were checked at the door. And who better to chan-
nel than Kate Moss? There was, of course, plenty
of mascara and smudgy black liner to rim the eyes.
Makeup artist Maud Laceppe chose to balance the
drama with a quick swipe of sheer lip balm and a
light, luminous foundation that revealed the singer’s
freckles. “The feel of the makeup is early seventies—
there’s a strong focus on the eyes, and the skin is very
natural,” Laceppe explains. “This style is definitely
‘less is more’—Kesha was thrilled with the transfor-
mation. It’s really refreshing.”
Laid-back, tousled hair was essential to com-
plete the vintage rock ’n’ roll aesthetic. “I wanted her
to resemble a cool girl dancing in the VIP section
of the hottest club in town,” says hairstylist Franco
Gobbi. To add volume and texture, he spritzed
Kesha’s strands with salt spray for beachy, shaggy
definition, then finished with a light mist of hairspray
to set the undone waves. Gobbi notes: “She loved
this look so much that she talked about making it her
new signature style!”

Letter fromthe Editor
What’s on my Instagram? Flowers
on my desk; cute Rita Ora visiting the Teen
Vogue offices; and Met gala guests, at far left.
Kesha’s comeback!
eading off to college is such an exciting rite of passage, and
something that our smart readers have always been fixated upon.
In print and online we cover it all: classes, majors, campus fashion,
dorm room makeovers, the Greek system, student internships, and
just about anything else that has to do with university life. And while Teen
Vogue often addresses issues of safety and well-being for young women, I
have never produced a feature specifically about rape on college campuses—
until now. Sexual assault at school has, sadly, become a major topic in the
media, and rightly so—according to U.S. Department of Education data, the
number of on-campus cases reported at four-year colleges increased by 49
percent between 2008 and 2012. I am heartened that this could mean more
strong women are coming forward to report assault (a possible explanation
for the spike), but the reaction at many schools is shocking, to say the least.
The “blame the victim” mentality is alive and well—even on supposedly
enlightened campuses—and many colleges seem to look the other way
rather than punish the attacker and risk their reputation. Read Alyssa
Giacobbe’s story “An Education,” in this issue, so that you know your
rights, and make your voice heard on this important matter.

I’ve always believed that beauty can be transformative and expressive, but I’ve also learned that while there are makeup guidelines, there are no rules. Just like fashion, you can mix, match, clash, or coordinate. When you’re having fun, you are your most beautiful self.

Fashion at WorkEDITOR: ELAINE WELTEROTH
fell in love with switching up my
nails as a hobby after I graduated
from college and couldn’t afford to
buy clothes—that was my outfit
change! I studied painting at
Maryland Institute College of Art in
Baltimore, but I was never able to
make a good painting. I would get
stuck and not know what to do. But
with nails, ideas just keep flowing,
and there’s no wrong answer. It’s like
doing art, but on the smallest canvas.
After college I got a job in
Los Angeles making headbands at
Ban.do. One of the founders was also
a prop stylist who would let me assist
her on photo shoots. As soon as I
landed on set and saw an editorial
manicurist for the first time, I realized
I wanted to try my hand at it (no pun
intended). I started watching a ton of
YouTube tutorials, and I enrolled in
the cheapest beauty school I could
find. I posted a ton of my work on
social media and on my blog,

ARTIST”
WorldMags.netWorldMags.net

Fashion at Work
mpnails.com. News travels fast on the Internet!
Soon people were asking me to do their nails.
After meeting Jenna Hipp, a big-name
celebrity manicurist who started an agency called
Nailing Hollywood, I went from being an intern
to one of its newly signed artists while I was still
in beauty school. I said yes to basically everything,
and my life picked up really fast. One of my big
breaks was doing Miley Cyrus’s nails! A publisher
even contacted me about working on a book
about DIY nail art. It’s amazing to walk through
an aisle in Target, see it, and go, ‘There it is!’ The
experience enabled me to make connections that
helped me forge a career and not just a fantasy.
Now I’m signed with a New York City–
based agency called Bridge, and I’m involved in
fashion shoots for magazines and advertisements.
This year I got my dream job as Sally Hansen’s
Global Color Ambassador. I help the brand set nail
trends through ad campaigns and product
development, and I even get to create the nail
looks at Stella McCartney’s fashion shows in Paris.
Whether it’s coming up with a great idea or doing
a cool design, I want to feel like I accomplished
something every day.”

rake just tweeted about ‘2 On!’”
Tinashe gushes of her debut
single while excitedly tapping
her iPhone screen mid-makeup
for our photo shoot. The 21-year-old
songstress had no inkling then that a day
later Drizzy would release a remix of the
song for his 15 million–plus followers.
“I hope my new fans know I’m a creative
person,” she says, referencing the three
DIY mixtapes that got her to where she
is today: on the verge of releasing a first
album, Aquarius. “Even if it’s label-made,
I’m still behind the songs and the visuals. It’s
not contrived—it’s calculated.”
Tinashe grew up in the spotlight, so
her humility is as refreshing and irrefutable
as her talent—she dove into acting at a young
age (“I was in my first film when I was 5”), trained
as a professional dancer (“It’s always been an
extension of my music”), and was a member of
the girl group The Stunners, who opened for Justin
Bieber (“Performing in front of 25,000 people was
extremely inspirational. There’s no stage I can’t play
now!”). With the help of collaborators like A$AP
Rocky, ScHoolboy Q, and Boi-1da, it’s clear this petite
brunette is quickly soaring to great heights. “My
music is a direct reflection of the eclectic person I
am,” she says. “I don’t like to be stuck in an R&B box.”
So what does the budding superstar wish for? “I want
people to know that I’m a force to be reckoned with.”

TEENVOGUE.COM66 AUGUST 2014
Levi’s—the first jeans made exclusively for women! And
because every urban cowboy needs a cohort, you can
imagine my excitement when one of my nearest and dearest,
model Michele Ouellet (star of the recent and very much
not-disbanded Levi’s campaign), agreed to gallop along with
me from Williamsburg (Brooklyn) to Wickenburg (Arizona)
for a full dude ranch experience: horseback riding, herding
cattle (an apparent and surprising latent talent of mine),
cookouts, campfire sing-alongs, and, of course, heaps of
denim on denim—a staple in Michele’s daily uniform.
After all, she has the dream job of test-driving tons of it
during endless photo-shoot fittings. “I will put on pants that
I wouldn’t necessarily have tried on or bought, then I’ll
realize they are great and think, Maybe I need to buy some
bell-bottoms now,” says Michele, who owns around 30 pairs
of jeans (“Is that a little or a lot?” she ponders). “It’s exciting to
be working with such an iconic company, and classic 501s
are just so cool. There aren’t many other labels that created
an entire industry, lifestyle, and culture.”
Michele—who grew up in Northern California’s Napa
Valley, not far from the Levi’s headquarters—competed in
dressage for 10 years and seems all too comfortable boot
scootin’, even if she’s typically more tomboy than cowboy. “I
used to be a little more tough rock ’n’ roll girl. Now my style is
a lot softer,” she says, citing Bob Marley and The Rolling
Stones (and their female companions) as her inspirations.
“Seventies high school kid is my ideal look right now.”
With her neo–Dazed and Confused aesthetic on hold
for a week, we fully embrace the frontier fashion
that is not only part of the Levi’s heritage but has
also recently influenced every luxury label, from
Saint Laurent to Isabel Marant to Chanel. “It’s
always been cute to have a little cowgirl flair
mixed into your wardrobe,” Michele says as we
observe authentic Westernwear-clad ranch hands
in their native habitat. “The clothes get the job
done but have style and attitude. Your outfit isn’t
going to stop you from going and chasing down a
cow,” she says with a giggle. “Cowboys are hot
and polite and hardworking. They’re a little bit
buttoned-up and proper but still know how to
have a good time and keep it down and dirty,
putting the wild in Wild, Wild West.”
“A little bit of sass, a little bit of grit,” I add.
Michele chimes in, “Yeah—tight jeans, cowboy
butts, drive me nuts.” I say, “I feel like we may
have just written a hit country song,” and Michele
responds, “Yes! We totally did.” We are definitely
feeling more than at home on the range!

igh above West Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard sat a giant Guess billboard of Gigi Hadid keeping watch over gridlock traffic —a sign this 19-year-
old was going places. “When I was by myself I went to look—it was surreal,” admits the Los Angeles native. “When my friends pulled over and shouted, ‘That’s my best friend!’, I got embarrassed and hid.”
Gigi recently completed her first year of college at The New School in Manhattan. She also caught the discerning eye of industry luminaries like Tom Ford and Carine Roitfeld, and appeared in a slew of enviable editorials, including Sports Illustrated’s
50th-Anniversary Swimsuit Issue. And Gigi’s even following in the footsteps of Claudia Schiffer and Drew Barrymore as an iconic Guess girl.
She’s received sound advice from her mom (and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star) Yolanda Foster, who spent 15 years modeling after being discovered by Ford Models at age 16. “The best thing she’s done for my career is making me wait until I was 17 to sign with an agency,” explains Gigi, who is an avid volleyball player, wakeboarder, and horseback rider. “I was able to realize my other talents, and be happy with myself, before entering a judgmental industry.” The waiting game paid off.
Aside from print work, she stars in the music video for Miguel’s “Simplethings” and for her sometimes-boyfriend Cody Simpson’s “Surfboard”— a relationship that has sparked their fans’ attention. “When I’m having a personal issue, I have to think about how I am going to get through it and also how to handle it publicly,” Gigi says. “It’s bizarre.”
But she is putting the job first and doing her best to stay levelheaded. “I try to make sure I’m nice to everyone, whether they’re the prop assistant or the creative director,” Gigi says. “I’ve learned to make myself proud every day. When you have little victories, they lead to bigger victories over time.” ÑA.B.
This rising model makes it billboard-big but stays humble.

“I went to Malibu High and was a
beachy girl. Now I have more city style,
but I still keep it casual,” says Gigi,
who likes Rag & Bone and Topshop.

grew up in London, where everyone thinks it’s all tea and the queen, but my bit was quite urban, so I wore sneakers from a young age,” says Rita
Ora, whose first collection for Adidas
Originals is filled with patched varsity pieces, classic sweats, and a print that balances romantic blooms with bold racing stripes.
The lineup is new, but the brand has been important to the songstress since way back. “When I was 16, I worked in a trainer store on Portobello, where I became a
sneakerhead,” she says. “A year later I flew to New York, where Jay Z signed me. He took me shopping and bought me a suitcase full of sneaks. His favorites are the Adidas shell toes.” A similar low-top punctuated with red roses shows up in Rita’s design
debut. When crafting the print, she remembers, “we listened to a ballad. We were like, ‘This is more sensitive.’ You can imagine wearing these in the summertime at Glastonbury.”
Cool collaborations are in
Adidas’s DNA. It’s partnered with creative forces from Dior’s Raf Simons to Moschino’s Jeremy Scott, a friend of Rita’s. “Jeremy always told me, ‘Just
be you and do what you wanna do,’” she says. Clearly Rita took his advice to heart. While visiting Adidas’s headquarters in Germany, she
developed a range reflective of her
glam-meets-casual aesthetic. “I like to mix amazing jewelry with sportswear,” Rita says. “Even if I’m at the Met gala, I’ll have a crazy ear cuff on, or loads of rings that look like knuckle-dusters but are really all diamonds.” Balance achieved. —CLAIRE KNEBL

deya developed her knack for performing while
growing up with four younger brothers (she has
six in total). “My mom would tell me, ‘Keep them
occupied!’” she says, adding that she’d reenact scenes from
movies like Mary Poppins or The Wizard of Oz for her baby
bros. Learning English was an initial hurdle; the second
hurdle: losing her heavy accent. “We were living in New
Jersey by then,” Odeya remembers. “So I had a Jersey
accent on top of my Israeli one!”
Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green was Odeya’s
only feature film credit when she auditioned for The Giver, a
futuristic thriller about a seemingly utopian society that has
eliminated pain and strife. She read for Fiona (a romantic
interest of protagonist Jonas, played by Brenton) six times
before landing the part. “It was intense,” she admits, “but
worth it.” Odeya reveals that while the script required the
cast to be cold and emotionless at times, her costars’ true
selves came out off-camera: “Brenton is so funny, and Meryl
as well. Taylor and I got really close. She’s like my older sister.”
Next up for Odeya is the horror-comedy flick
Goosebumps (inspired by the R.L. Stine book series),
opposite Jack Black. “There’s never a dull moment,” she
says of filming in Georgia. “Jack’s just a big kid.” When not
shooting, the self-proclaimed music enthusiast (who loves
The Beatles and Beyoncé) works on curating her signature
style—a mix of tomboy casual and Audrey Hepburn elegant—
naming Alice + Olivia and Valentino as favorite labels.
As her career takes off, Odeya (whose name means
“thank God” in Hebrew) keeps a refreshingly grounded
perspective. “People have tried to put me down,” she says.
“But I keep looking forward—anything this good doesn’t
come easy.” —ANTHONY ROTUNNO

BEGIN AGAIN
The writer-director behind the beloved music-driven indie Once brings another epic
indie tale, told to a different tune, to the big screen. Begin Again—starring Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo,
Adam Levine, and Hailee Steinfeld (at right, and whose guitar skills are stellar!)—reveals the power of song
amid a New York City soundscape. —LIANA WESTON

old-out shows in clubs around the world,
private jets, a platinum hit single, and school
in between. Impossible? Hardly. That’s just
one week in the life of Martin Garrix.
The Amsterdam native’s universe has been
turned upside down since his song “Animals”
became a radio staple. Now he’s never in any one
time zone for long, headlining gigs in glamorous
spots, from Ibiza to Mykonos. He Skypes with Tiesto,
his mentor, on a weekly basis. And, he’s only 18.
“Last year I was in the crowd at Ultra, raving
with some friends,” Martin says as we sit poolside
at his hotel in Miami Beach. “This year I’m
performing on the main stage. It’s unreal.”
The Dutch mixer decided to try producing
electronic music after watching Tiesto play
during the 2004 Olympics. “He’s still my
biggest inspiration,” Martin says. “We’re
going into the studio together on Friday!”
Teenage dream, indeed. Martin’s
become one of the most in-demand DJs,
and he has deals with Spinnin’ Records and
Republic Records. Still, Martin won’t give in
to the industry’s formula. “I made ‘Animals’
as a club record without the intention of
getting it played on the radio,” he says. “I’m
not going to do cheesy pop records.”
A recent graduate of the Herman
Brood Academie in Utrecht, Netherlands,
Martin says, “I can’t imagine my life
without music. I would be bored to death
without it! And I really enjoy traveling. I
love Paris, New York, Kuala Lumpur,
Sydney....” But which city does he love
most of all? “Amsterdam, because of the
people,” he says proudly. “They accept
everything.” There’s no place like home.

’ve stood out pretty much since birth. Imagine a head full of red hair among a
sea of slick black strands, all nestled into incubators. That was me as a newborn
in Taiwan, miles away from home. My real color is now a mousy brown, but
you’d never know because I’ve been hopping between rainbow brights for
years. The best part? My colorist is none other than my dad, and the salon where
we make magic happen is actually our kitchen table.
We treat each hair color (aqua, pink, purple, emerald green—I could go
on…) like a new chapter in my journey to taking over the world. And what will
the heroine of the story look like next? A high-fashion sci-fi girl. Think a cross
between runway newbie Natalie Westling, whose fire-engine-red strands
turned many a head this season, and my idol Milla Jovovich in The Fifth
Element. The intentionally unnatural shade, spotted everywhere from Marc
by Marc Jacobs to Vera Wang to Altuzarra (all my favorite shows), seemed like
a chin-up statement toward the future—and a rebellious refusal to any
thoughts of blending in. In the words of Guido Palau, the visionary behind this
enigmatic moment in hair color: “It’s all the wrong things that make it so right.”
And the same goes for the new icy-blonde and the anti-ombré brunette, too.
It’s all about contradictions: bold but simple, gorgeous but still utterly fearless.
Bottom line: I knew I had to take part. But this kind of change was too big
to go at alone—yes, even for a repeat at-home hair-color offender like me. The
only problem: The cost of a salon visit to take me from royal blue to superhero red
would be astronomical (pun intended). Then I discovered eSalon, an online
custom hair-color service complete with a professional consultant, for little more
than the cost of a box kit. Estelle, my professional colorist, walked my dad and
me through the process—we spoke on the phone and sent pictures back and
forth as she virtually held my hand through the experience. She
formulated a red shade based on my inspiration and even prescribed
products that will keep my hair as bold as I plan to be for months to come.
Before eSalon, I would have been stuck roaming the drugstore aisles,
crossing my fingers for a “close enough” compromise. Now my dream
shade is as accessible as Wi-Fi. The future of perfect hair is evidently
online—and I’m never logging out!
i do or dye
1 For blondes: Instead of constantly calling the salon for touch-ups, turn the dial on this purple-tinted potion that deposits just the right amount of magic to keep your shade
stunning for weeks.
2 For redheads: This argan oil–infused pre-wash treatment acts as a shield to lock in
moisture and color, so your shade stays in your hair rather than staining the shower tiles.
3 For brunettes: The secret to keeping up Kardashian-status brown strands is shine.
Celeb hairstylist Harry Josh swears by at-home gloss treatments: “It gives hair that fresh, just-colored look without the damage.”
Considering color? Here’s what to know before you DIY.

STYLE TIPSWhat do you get when you combine Phillip Lim’s quirky-chic aesthetic with the beauty know-how of Nars? Eight rich, jewel-toned lacquers and a
must-have neutral that elevate any outfit. After 14 seasons of creating
runway looks together, a beauty collaboration felt like an obvious next step. “Nars is known for colors that push boundaries,” Lim explains, “which
is exactly what we do.” This means your manicure must be equally unconventional. We called upon nail whiz Taryn Multack, aka Miss Ladyfinger, to whip up the windowpane design above, inspired by our favorite print from Lim’s fall collection (that skirt!). First, apply Anarchy for the ultimate creamy-beige base. Then use a striper to draw perpendicular lines, alternating colors as you go. “It’s graphic, modern, and eye-catching,” Multack says. The perfect complement to a shiny new Phillip Lim bag! —TINA FERRARO
Clockwise from top: Stila Crush Lip & Cheek Stain in Cherry Crush, $24. Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil in Always Cherry, $18. YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush in Fuchsia Desinvolte, $40.
Running late? Your less-than-a-minute face starts with these bright lip-cheek stain hybrids.
TWO-TIMERS
GENTLE CYCLECondition your way to clean hair.
IF YOU HAVE AN OILY SCALP BUT DRY ENDS...blast roots with your usual dry shampoo, then turn frayed ends silky-
smooth with this waterless conditioner. Like fabric softener for your hair! Oribe Soft Dry Conditioner Spray, $35.
IF YOU’RE COLOR-TREATED...wash less often with a creamy, suds-free alternative. “Traditional shampoos contain detergents that strip everything—even the good stuff, like natural oils,” says
hair pro Michael Gordon. Purely Perfect Cleansing Creme, $40.
IF YOUR HAIR IS CURLY/COARSE...“co-wash” using a no- to low-lather cleanser that hydrates as it clarifies. The result: “less
frizz, more manageability,” says Cynthia Alvarez, Rita Ora’s hairstylist. Ojon Rare Blend Cleansing Conditioner, $27.
King of cool Phillip Lim leaves his mark on your mani.

ant to know a fun fact about the
girl with the most talked-about
brows in Hollywood? She doesn’t
touch them. “I plucked my brows when I was
younger to tame them, and my mom was like,
‘What did you do to your face? They are never
going to grow back!’ From that day forward I
promised not to mess with them again,” she
says earnestly, as if crossing her heart. At 25,
Lily’s beauty philosophy may reflect a
cautionary mind-set, but it’s clear from her
flirty long bob and three tattoos that she’s
anything but afraid to take a few risks.
Immaculate brows aside, it’s her innate talent
and effusive charm that helped land the Love,
Rosie star a contract as a face of Lancôme.
“This is totally a dream come true,” she
gushes. Her favorite products? Lip Lover in
Bouquet Final (“It’s a lip balm, mattifier,
lipstick, and gloss—all in one!”) and the new
Grandiôse Mascara ($23 and $32 respectively,

insta-archesEyebrow envy! A-list expert Anastasia Soare holds the key to your perfect pair.
Put down the tweezers: “A botched brow job is different from a bad haircut. Brow follicles are so fine and
delicate that the hair stops growing back, so don’t be overzealous with plucking,” Soare says. “When you’re ready to shape them for the first time, go to a pro. And remember, thicker is better.” Just look at Lily’s!
Find your arch: “To determine the right arch for your unique face
shape, draw an imaginary line from the tip of your nose to your iris [the colored part of the eye],” Soare instructs. “This is where the highest point of the arch should be. It’s a formula that works for everyone.”
Fill in the blanks: Bad brows are like an ill-fitting frame on a beautiful painting.
Bring out the best in yours with tiny strokes of a brow pencil, like Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz ($21, anastasia .net). Just don’t forget to blend! “Use a spoolie to disperse color after every few strokes for natural-looking brows,” Soare adds.
GIRL CRUSH

“There’s nothing like putting on mascara in the morning,” Lily says. “I feel more awake!”

WILLOW’S WORLD
AUGUST 2014 115TEENVOGUE.COM
In an exclusive shoot at her family’s home, Willow Smith lets Teen Vogue into her creative and charming universe.

WorldMags.net
When you’re the youngest person ever
signed to Jay Z’s record label and Holly-
wood starts throwing movie offers at you,
life can get a little complicated. What to
do? Well, if you’re Willow Smith, you turn inward and fol-
low your heart. Even if it means dropping out of the big-
budget remake of Annie (produced by your father) and
going back to middle school. Says the 13-year-old starlet
of her retreat: “To be honest, something inside me was
just, like, Don’t. I’m very connected with my intuition.”
Willow may have hit pause on her meteoric ascent
by trading the blockbuster for the classroom, but there’s
nothing ordinary about the life of Will Smith and Jada
Pinkett Smith’s daughter. For one thing, she’s a burgeoning
fashion icon who’s drawn comparisons to Rihanna, and
her favorite pair of heels were a gift from Karl Lagerfeld
himself. (“They make me feel like I’m a sophisticated
Amazon woman,” Willow says.) Ask about jewelry and
she’ll gush about Cartier, referring to her mother’s gold
Juste un Clou bracelet as “sick.” She adds, “My whole

family, we love Cartier.” Still, Willow is experienced in
working a healthy mix of high and low, professing to
know her way around Target—which she calls her secret
for boots, Converse, and Vans. The girl isn’t fronting. Ask
about a favorite recent purchase and she’ll tell you about
a cheapie dream-catcher necklace she unearthed at the
Fairfax flea market in Los Angeles.
Like all teenagers, Willow and her fashion sense
are still evolving, and she’s smartly resisting the pressure
to define herself. She has made waves for bold outfits
(leopard parachute pants paired with a leopard jacket?),
but these days she’s digging a more laid-back, bohemian
vibe (velvet bell-bottoms). Who knows what tomorrow
may bring? “My style is who I am all the time,” she says,
“and who I am always changes.” For proof, look no fur-
ther than her hair, which in the past few years has been
green, pink, and now blonde. “My hair is super-, super-,
super-, superhard to destroy,” she says with a laugh. “It’s
a survivor.” As for the new shade, she proudly reports:
“Blondes do have more fun!” ➤

t’s been four years since “Whip My Hair” assaulted
our earbuds, selling more than a million digital
copies to become arguably the song of 2010—
parodied by Jimmy Fallon and Bruce Springsteen
on late-night TV and subsequently used for an Internet
meme. When the haters emerged, as they always do,
Jay Z compared Willow to the likes of Michael Jackson
and Stevie Wonder (both started recording at a young
age too). While a promised debut album never material-
ized, Willow didn’t stop making music altogether; in
fact, she posted a searing ballad called “Drowning” to
SoundCloud. Her interest hasn’t waned, she explains.
She just figured, Why rush it?
“I have enough songs to make an album,” Willow
says, “but most of the songs I don’t like.” She assures that
new stuff is coming soon —just don’t ask Willow to char-
acterize her sound. “It’s going to be something outlandish,
something that nobody can imagine, something that comes
from me and only me. Something we need right now.”
Another sign that she’s prepping for a major return to
the public eye after her yearlong absence? Willow recently
started tweeting to her 3.5 million–plus followers on topics
as far-ranging as world peace (“We all need to learn how to
harmoniously live on this planet without frying it like those
systematic French fries the government feeds us”) and her
trouble with homework (“Teacher: Why don’t you have
your homework? Me: Too busy learning about life.”). “I just
felt like people needed to hear what I had to say, man,”
Willow reveals. “I feel like I can really give people a differ-
ent view on things.” We’ll be listening. —MICKEY RAPKIN

t’s like the American flag,” Sailor Brinkley Cook muses on the subject of denim. That is to say, timeless, classic, and ever patriotic. Like apple pie or, perhaps more fittingly, like original supermodel-cum-dream-girl-next-door Christie Brinkley— otherwise known as Sailor’s mother.
When the 16-year-old second-generation model and aspiring photographer isn’t in her school dress code of khakis and collared shirts or being outfitted by a stylist for a fashion shoot, she lives in various shades of blue. “I love skinny jeans with
oversize sweaters,” Sailor says. Since donning a denim pencil skirt for this story, she’s become a fan of those too (“They remind me of Marilyn Monroe”). “But,” she asserts, “boyfriend jeans are my favorite because they’re comfortable and you can play them up or down. I’m wearing them right now.” Brand: Goldsign. Shop: Mom’s closet. “She gives me all her jeans when she gets tired of them,” Sailor notes. “I chop off the bottoms if they’re flared or turn them into cutoff shorts—a bunch of DIY stuff. No bedazzling, though,” she deadpans.
For sartorial sparks, Sailor looks a little farther from home. “There’s a girl I follow on Instagram named Bella Hadid,” she says. “She has a chic, grungy style. Lately I’ve been channeling her when I get dressed.”
Since making her modeling debut in Teen Vogue last year, Sailor has signed with mega-agency IMG Models (Gisele Bündchen ranks among the thoroughbreds in its stable), landed a Claire’s campaign, become a guest on a.m. TV shows like Good Morning America, and gained an impressive Instagram following (15K and counting). So how has life changed for the Bridgehampton, New York, native? “A typical week is Monday, school. Tuesday, school. Wednesday, school. Thursday, school. Friday, school. Then on the weekends, maybe I’ll go to a job if I have one,” she says, shrugging nonchalantly. “I live a pretty basic life. Which is nice—I like it.” —JANE KELTNER DE VALLE

The softer side of Kesha. Pop’s outspoken star opens up to Andrew Bevan about difficult times, her next chapter, and dropping the dollar sign. Photographed by Giampaolo Sgura.
Why are we here?” I ask Kesha Rose Sebert as
we lie down on a bubble gum–pink blanket
(that reads more childhood bedroom than picnic)
on a serene, secluded grassy knoll at Will Rogers
State Historic Park in Los Angeles. “I like being
outside in big, open spaces; it makes me feel
happy and free,” she replies. “I come hiking here a lot. I thought it
would be a nice place to do this.”
I first interviewed the wild child of pop in 2011 in a sterile San
Francisco hotel conference room surrounded by an ambiguous team of
people. Regardless of the fact that it was 10 a.m., the rock star tirelessly kept
up the magic of her persona, arriving in full-on superhero regalia and a face
heavily frosted with large crystals. Under bad fluorescent lighting, I asked her
a slew of hard-hitting questions, like which Muppet is her favorite (Animal,
naturally), and if she liked crunchy or smooth peanut butter (crunchy).
Within seconds of meeting her again, on a recent sweltering California
afternoon, I knew this was going to be a vastly different experience with
a vastly different girl. I arrive early to find the 27-year-old already there—a
true unicorn moment when it comes to interviewing musicians, as far as
this writer is concerned. She welcomes me with a giant hug, followed by
a surprisingly innocent girl-next-door shrug and smile. No face paint, no
futuristic costume, no exaggerated gusto in sight. She has bare feet, a mop of
bed-head hair, and a freckled, makeup-free face. Clad in cutoffs and a Guns
N’ Roses tee (which she literally bought off a guy’s back at a bar in Nashville,
her hometown), she evokes a warmer, more sixties, Marianne Faithfull
quality than a steely, sexualized, Blade Runner mystique. I immediately see a
different side of a girl who has built her multiple-multiplatinum career ➤

(seven consecutive top-10 hits, including the ubiquitous
“TiK ToK,” the world’s biggest-selling digital single of
2010) with flashy parrrty anthems, a risqué style, and a
take-no-prisoners attitude since she was signed at age
18. Though she is at times polarizing, you would have to
be made of stone, or living under one, to not have at least
bobbed your head and hummed along to a Kesha track at
some point—probably at 1 a.m.
Over the last five years, music’s good-time gal has
written and performed buoyant (and sometimes raunchy)
YOLO-themed soundtracks fit for high school ragers and
wedding reception sing-alongs without skipping a beat.
Yet the singer knew she needed
to take a break and face a serious

she says, pausing. “My eating
disorder is something I’ve been
struggling with for a while.

but I went to rehab for an eating
disorder—nothing more and
nothing less.” In January, Kesha
entered Timberline Knolls, a
Chicago-area women’s inpatient
facility, subsequently canceling
her spring tour. “Making my
last record, Warrior, was a
pretty miserable process, and
it wore my spirit down. I was
fighting like hell to keep my
whole irreverent essence and
everything raw and visceral that
I stand for in it, but in the end I
was promoting something that
wasn’t the animal I wanted it to be. I decided to face
my problem head-on.”
Battling inner demons is hard for anyone,
but when your job is to be a poster child of kick-
ass confidence, continually belting out empowering,
self-penned lyrics only intensifies the wake-up call. “My
whole message is to love who you are and accept all your
beautiful imperfections. When I felt I was slipping into
unloving territory with myself, I knew I had to listen to
my own advice and correct it,” Kesha explains as we turn
in unison onto our stomachs, a sprinkler hissing faintly
in the distance. “I have a public persona where I need to
be fun all the time, and I refuse to be a hypocrite. I felt I
needed to get help, not only for myself but also for my
fans. My worst fear in life is to be fake.”
In today’s TMZ-dominated culture, we are no
strangers to watching the almost expected, epic tabloid-
worthy pitfalls of pop stars, actors, and socialites in a
Hunger Games kind of way. Kesha is eager to prove she’s
evolving rather than unraveling. “To have a breakthrough
you have to have a breakdown, and I definitely went through
both of those—in hindsight, it saved my life,” she admits.
“Things got worse because I’m in an industry where people
photograph your body and zoom in and blow it up and
put it on the cover of magazines, and other people make
terrible comments.” She’s likely referring to the intense public
scrutiny she received in 2011, when bikini photos of her on
an Australian beach went viral. “It really messed with my
head, and I realized I couldn’t do it by myself,” she reveals.
“The decision to take control of it is the scariest thing I’ve
ever done, and this is coming from someone who dives with
sharks and jumps out of airplanes for fun.”
Kesha was able to write 14
new songs during her two months
in rehab with the help of a toy Casio
keyboard. “The whole process has
made me so much stronger and
ready to take my life by the horns
and make a record that I’m going
to be proud of and not care what
anybody else thinks!” she exclaims.
With treatment came a fresh
outlook on life, complete with an
updated, non-self-deprecating
Twitter handle (she switched from
@keshasuxx to @KeshaRose) and
a slight yet powerful tweak to her
moniker: She swapped the infamous
“$” for a good old-fashioned “s”—
which, Kesha assures me, is way
less symbolic than it may seem. “To
be honest, I think I just outgrew the
dollar sign,” she says nonchalantly.
Do we need to brace
ourselves for an entirely grown-
up sound with zero remnants of glass smashing and
tabletop dancing? “I’m not going to be making a lullaby
jazz record. My music will always have balls until I’m an
85-year-old crazy granny, so don’t be worried about that,”
the star affirms, adding that she’s been playing Fleetwood
Mac and Black Sabbath on heavy rotation. “I was writing
a song called ‘Child of the Moon’ in the car before you got
here. It has a Stevie Nicks–witchy vibe. I’m making songs that
are really weird, and they make me happy again. That’s what
music should do.”
Her musical roots were laid down early by her
songwriting, former punk-rock singer mom, Pebe (who
entered Timberline Knolls around the same time as Kesha,
for post-traumatic stress disorder). Kesha grew up in
recording studios and fell in love with country music, despite
announcing at age 5 (naked and covered in body paint) that
she was going to be a rock star at all costs. “I wanted to be a
girl version of the Beastie Boys. And when I did that, many
thought of me as a dismissable party girl who was literally
drinking whiskey 24/7, even though I’m not,” says Kesha,
I felt I needed to get help, not only for myself but also for my
fans. My worst fear in life is to be fake

who was actually born at a party in the San Fernando Valley
in 1987 before moving to Tennessee. “I still love glitter and
have a sarcastic sense of humor that only some get. But now
people are seeing me more as a whole human.”
That’s part of what prompted her to do two seasons
of the MTV docuseries Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life,
filmed by her older brother, Lagan. “I wanted to show how
hard I really work. I design my costumes and everything on
my stage, I write every song that I sing, and I write for other
people,” says the star, who has penned tracks for Miley
Cyrus and Britney Spears (Kesha co-wrote the megahit
“Till the World Ends”) and has collaborated with Iggy Pop,
Will.i.am, and Pitbull. Also unknown to many about Kesha’s
world: She has two rescue cats (that’d be Mr. Peeps and Mr.
Fluffy Pants), takes four showers a day, and is a math whiz. “I
want people to know that I have my s*** together,” she adds.
This summer Kesha (along
with Ludacris and Brad Paisley) lends
her expert advice on the new ABC
singing-competition series Rising
Star, hosted by Josh Groban. “I’m
really excited to tell people how
wonderful they are—and if they’re
not, I’ll be kind,” says the nouvelle
mentor of the talent show, which
incorporates real-time voting by
viewers via an app. “The concept uses
social media in the most instantly grat-
ifying way—the audience is making
that decision, not just the judges.”
Now out from the security
blanket of rehab and back into the
spotlight, is she cautious about making
new friends? “That’s a really interesting
question,” Kesha says, pausing. “It’s
hard to always trust people’s inten-
tions, but I can’t become too armored.
I’m trying to keep myself open and
hope great people fall into my life.”
She may be one of the guys on
Rising Star’s expert panel, but she
understands the importance of girl
code. “Once you’re in, you’re in, and
I’ll take a bullet for you,” says Kesha,
who has spent years wreaking havoc
with her gal pals in Haim. “The sisters
are my best friends in the world.”
When I ask if she is dating,
Kesha looks at me slyly, winks, and
starts meowing. Though tight-lipped
about her current love life, the singer
admits to wanting authenticity and a
little old-fashioned courting. “I can’t
wrap myself around Internet dating. I
like to put my faith in the serendipity

of the universe, and technology just takes all the magic out
of love,” she says. “Maybe I’m showing my age, but I sure as
hell don’t want to find my husband on my cell phone. I don’t
like the Internet. I use it only for shopping. Just for shoes.”
Her traditional streak disappears on the red
carpet, however. When the entertainment world’s fashion
police deemed her offbeat ensembles “garbage chic,”
instead of fretting, the singer decided to give the prover-
bial middle finger. “I remember thinking, I don’t want to
be pretty. Don’t call me pretty. If somebody called me that,
it was almost offensive—I would put on more eyeliner
or draw things down my face,” she confesses as we, like
clockwork, rotate onto our backs and gaze upward. “There
was a defining moment about six months ago—I think it
was a breakup—where I decided that maybe I do want to
try to be pretty—I want to just try.” continued ➤ 155

hen Zoey* was a college freshman last fall,
she invited a guy she’d been talking to for a
few weeks over to her dorm room. “We were
just going to hang out,” she says, but one thing
led to another, and they ended up having sex. That’s when he
told her she was just one of dozens of people he’d slept with.
“I freaked out,” Zoey says, and she asked him to leave.
Instead he pulled down her pants, held her down, and raped
her. She begged him to stop. Finally she laid still and stared at
the ceiling until it was over. Once he had left, she called her
RA, who took her to the hospital and informed the university.
This is where Zoey’s story, like so many others, takes a
mind-boggling turn. There was, she says, no real outrage
from school officials. No sense of swift justice. They
scheduled a hearing for January but didn’t let her know
about it until a week before. During the proceedings, she was
forced to face her rapist and was asked if she’d “ever had sex
before, regularly picked up guys online to have sex with, and
other questions that did not seem relevant,” she remembers.
The school gave her attacker probation without further
consequence. “Essentially a slap on the wrist,” she says.
What happened to Zoey has happened to thousands
of college students across the country—both the sexual
assault and the frequent lack of appropriate action from
school administrations. According to a study by the U.S.
Department of Justice, a university with 10,000 students
could experience as many as 350 rapes per year. “The myth
is that sexual assaults take place in a dark alley at the hands
of strangers, but at college, as everywhere else, the vast
majority are perpetrated by someone the victim knows, and
even take place in social settings with lots of people
wpresent,” says Nancy Chi Cantalupo, an adjunct professor at
Georgetown Law who researches sexual violence in
educational settings. And although more and more survivors
are coming forward—the number of on-campus sexual
assaults reported at four-year colleges increased 49 percent
between 2008 and 2012, according to U.S. Department of
Education data—many incidents still go undocumented. It
could be because victims are often unsure if what happened
“counts” as rape, fearing they’re partially to blame if they
were drunk, or passed out, or had engaged in consensual
sex before the crime. “Absolutely not,” Cantalupo asserts. “If
you haven’t given consent, it’s sexual assault.”
The other probable reason students don’t come
forward to report being raped? Their schools’ filing
procedures are—intentionally, many believe—complicated,
slow, and discouraging. And while victims always have the
option of going to the police, dealing with law enforcement
is perceived as an equally difficult and daunting process
that doesn’t address the immediate problems a school is
supposed to, like getting a rapist kicked out of a class or
dorm. It’s easy, if disheartening, to understand why the
system may be set up to deter victims from being vocal:
More cases of reported rape make a school seem unsafe,
which means fewer enrollments and, eventually, less profit.
Students across the country are rightfully outraged,
and are protesting on campuses from Yale to Dartmouth
and the University of Iowa to the University of Oregon.
At this year’s commencement ceremonies, graduates of
Harvard and Columbia wore red tape on their mortarboards
to show solidarity with sexual assault victims who hadn’t
been treated fairly. Twitter was abuzz
Colleges across the country are under fire for failing to protect students from the growing
campus rape crisis. Teen Vogue reports.

From their prom-dress picks to their runway

wasn’t really into modeling at first,” admits 18-year-old Emma Waldo, a native of New York City’s Lower East Side. “But I started looking at magazine editorials and became
enchanted with the industry.”As luck would have it, the fashion world
took a liking to Emma too. She was scouted outside her high school at age 16 and landed a shoot soon after, in Teen Vogue. “When I saw it, I didn’t even recognize myself,” Emma says. “My friends were calling me, screaming, ‘I have the issue!’, and I was yelling too. It didn’t feel real.”
Next came the privilege of opening Phillip Lim’s spring 2014 runway show and the chance to walk at London Fashion Week, Emma’s first-ever trip to Europe. And she’s made some friends along the way. “All the newcomers travel together and stick with one another backstage. It’s like summer camp, except that we’re in Paris and going insane from exhaustion. It’s still fun, though.”
For Emma, the past few years have been a fantasy, but the most surreal moment yet happened at home. “My good friend walked into my AP literature class and started singing ‘My
Girl,’ but he had changed the lyrics,” she says of being asked to prom. “I peeked around the room and realized he was asking me. I turned bright red, but I said yes.” When you’ve got the perfect date, where do you find a dress to match? Proenza Schouler, naturally, where the designers let her pick a favorite look.
Still, Emma refuses to let her success go to her head. “I’m still the girl I was when I began modeling—just a bit stronger and more confident,” she asserts. And if she ever forgets, her friends and family are quick to remind her. “My friends love to embarrass me,” Emma says. “They go online and find bad pictures of me from backstage as jokes.” Not to mention her two brothers (Emma is a triplet). “They ask me questions like, ‘Who’s Dior?’ It drives me crazy,” she says with a laugh.
Now her main focus is starting freshman year at New York City’s Hunter College. “I’m a New York girl. I’m never leaving!” Emma says. So it seems only fitting that her big dream is to see her face on one of the city’s larger-than-life billboards. “A Calvin Klein ad wouldn’t be too shabby,” she says. “Someday!”

big misconception about models
is that we don’t eat,” says 20-year-
old Devon Windsor. “I’m a foodie.
I probably eat more than my
non-industry friends. Most of us [models] are
just freaks of nature with really high metabo-
lisms,” she adds. “People will comment on my
Instagram that I should go eat a burger. They
have no idea that I probably just had one.”
And it’s not just these eating habits that
give the nearly six-foot-tall, platinum-haired
beauty her girl-next-door charm. Discovered by
a local St. Louis photographer at a bat mitzvah
when she was 13, Devon opted to put her career
on hold in favor of her first love: sports. “I was
really involved in athletics in high school. I
played field hockey, lacrosse, and tennis, and
ran track—and I didn’t want to quit,” she says.
After graduation, however, Devon took
off for Milan, New York, and London. “It was
really sad and depressing,” she admits. “All my
friends from home were going to college, and
I was sitting in Milan alone, thinking, What am
I doing?”
Luckily Devon found a fashion fairy
godmother in Miuccia Prada when she was
picked as a semi-exclusive for the spring 2014
Prada show and given the bleached hair that has
since become her signature. Major shows from
Stella McCartney to Chanel couture followed,
and with them, plenty of swag. “I got a tote from
Céline, which was a big gift. Derek Lam gave me
a classic black rain jacket, and Reed Krakoff gave
us bags too,” she says.
For the all-American model, the real
pinch-me moment came when she was cast in
the 2013 Victoria’s Secret runway show. “My
friends back home didn’t really care about my
other jobs. This was the one thing they knew of
and were like, ‘Wow.’”
Despite her international travel, Devon is
still most at home in the kitchen. “I’m obsessed
with Pinterest,” she says. “I find lots of recipes
for things to make.” Her current specialty?
Quinoa fried rice.
If all of this—love of cooking, meteoric
success, hometown girl—feels like déjà vu, you
can thank another Midwest export: Karlie Kloss.
“I always looked up to her,” Devon says. Now
the two models share a runway. “A lot of girls
work their butts off and get nowhere,” Devon
adds. “I feel very lucky.”

really don’t like attention that much,” says 18-year-old
model Binx (real name: Leona Walton). An ironic state-
ment from the rising star, who walked in 40-plus fashion
shows in the past season alone. Scouted at age 9 at a
pool party with her sister Tati, the Hawaii- and Tennessee-
raised teen admits she had no interest in modeling. “I grew
up playing sports with a bunch of brothers,” she says. “I was
that rough-around-the-edges kid.”
Her tomboy nature isn’t the only thing the model
inherited from her brothers. As a child, they teasingly nick-
named their sister Binx because of her obsession with the
Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks, and when her modeling
career took off, the moniker stuck.
For Binx, though, the road to success has definitely
had some bumps. “There were times when I wanted to go
back to Tennessee and just be a kid,” she says. When Binx’s
Los Angeles agency asked her to cut her hair and pin back
her ears, she balked. In the end, she opted for the haircut,
and less than a week later was on a plane to New York City,
where she was on hold for a Marc Jacobs runway exclusive.
Now Binx, whose typical off-duty look includes
black Vans and a hoodie, is a face of Céline’s summer 2014
campaign. But for a model who’s worked with some of
the biggest names in fashion (she’s had a dance party with
Phoebe Philo and calls Karl Lagerfeld a fatherly type), she
has managed to keep an admirably level head thanks to
her secret weapon: a close-knit group of friends. “They’re
so chill. They don’t know anything about my career,” Binx
admits of her Knoxville crew. “The only thing they’ve cared
about was me meeting Miley Cyrus!”
Her modeling mantra? “Find yourself before you lose
yourself,” she says. “In this industry, it’s easy to get carried
away and to do things that other people want you to do.
You always have to know who you are.” —VICTORIA LEWIS

Kesha may be only starting to flex her sartorial muscles, but she’s proving a quick study. When she jumped out of her comfort zone in lacy, feminine gowns at the recent Life Ball in Vienna and the Billboard Music Awards, she was radiant, all smiles, and—excuse the cliché—a new person. “The insanity is not gone forever; it’s still there. I’ve only decided to wipe off all the face paint and try to wear beautiful dresses instead of completely insane things,” she explains, sitting up to lace her neon-trimmed sneakers. “I want to be more conscious of fashion because it’s an art form. Growing up relatively poor in the South, I closed myself off from it because it was so far out of my reach.”
Though I can feel Kesha’s vulnerability as she prepares to begin another chapter—or most likely a whole other book—in her life, it is more clear than ever that not much is unattainable for this fearless, ever-determined woman.
Kesha tells me she’s going on a quick run before taking off. I thank her for her genuine honesty and for sharing her story with me. She gives me a hug goodbye, seeming even more dauntless than she was a mere two hours ago. With clear fervor, she runs up the mountain onto a distant hiking trail, spawning a million heartening meta-phors in my head.
Later I unearth and listen to the surprisingly tame, melodic, and under-heard title track to Kesha’s debut album, Animal, that she had mentioned more than once as a favorite song that holds true meaning. The lyrics she penned at age 21 pierce through my headphones: “I am in love with what we are/Not what we should be, and I am/I am starstruck with every part/Of this whole story...I’m not asleep, I’m up for the fight.” It seems Kesha has had the power all along—she just had to learn to use it for herself.
at press time with support for Stanford student and rape survivor Leah Francis through the hashtag #StandWithLeah, where users spoke out in response to school officials’ lenient punishment of her attacker. And in an unprecedented move, President Barack Obama formed a task force to address universities’ mishandling of sexual assault cases. There are currently 55 schools in the crosshairs of a federal investigation.
College junior Meghan was raped by two boys during her freshman year at the University of California, Berkeley, one of the schools under scrutiny. There was, she says, considerable pressure from her peers not to report what had happened. She ultimately decided against filing; the process, which involved lots of confusing policies and many different administrative offices, was too difficult. Twenty-three-year-old graduate Dana says she had a similar experience after she was stalked and raped during her sophomore year at Amherst. “When I finally reported it to a campus official, I was told to take time off, go home, get a job at Starbucks, and basically wait until my rapist graduated before returning,” she says. “At the time, it seemed like that was neither particularly nice nor ethical, but I had no idea it was also illegal.”
Dana is referring to Title IX, a law established in 1972 that prohibits federally funded institutions from discriminating based on gender. The legislation calls for a prompt response to student complaints about sexual assault and accommodations for survivors. But while universities are, by law, supposed to enforce Title IX, that’s not always the case. “No school wants to be known as the university with a rape problem, so we see them persistently trying to sweep this under the rug,” says Dana, who cofounded Know Your IX, a campaign to educate students about their rights.
The good news is that, slowly but surely, colleges are making progress. All schools are required to have a Title IX coordinator on campus and are increasingly populated with victim advocates and support groups, counseling services, and a student body that’s passionate about change. Women’s rights advocacy organization UltraViolet is even petitioning to have sexual assault included among the rankings in The Princeton Review. “It’s funny, but I remember when I was looking at colleges and I cared so much about dining hall food,” Dana says. “Now that’s such an insignificant concern compared with safety.” —ALYSSA GIACOBBE

Last Look
ebecca Finley, 16, is usually behind the camera, not in front of it. “Everyone I photograph is a friend,” the incoming high school junior says. “And teens enjoy
having their picture taken, so I’ve got plenty of subjects.” When choosing art for her room, Rebecca was drawn
to Marilyn Minter’s signature style: eyes and lips, often dotted with water droplets, in saturated hues. “There are some people who are like, ‘Isn’t it creepy to sleep with lips and eyes above your bed?’ But it’s not weird for me—I love the pieces.”
In her own work, Rebecca is inspired by Richard
Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Petra Collins, and Helmut Newton.
rHer goal, not surprisingly, is to one day shoot for Vogue. The road there includes an internship at Salon 94 and making the most of New York as her playground. “This past fall Lili, one of my BFFs, and I colored our hair with pastel chalk and went to Top of the Rock to take pictures with the Empire State Building in the background,” she says.
Coincidentally, the craft runs in the family. At 93, Rebecca’s grandfather still takes photos—but with film. “I move fast, especially on my Instagram [@rebecca_finley],” she says. “The problem with film is that it takes a long time.” A story for the ages. —CLAIRE KNEBL
