15-year-old jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky is the anti-Cyrus

WWD has an interview today with Montreal’s 15-year-old jazz star (and fashion fiend) Nikki Yanofsky. On a day where breaking news consists of a video of Miley’s 9-year-old sister Noah gyrating to Akon’s “Smack That,” and the two girls’ apparent role model, Lindsay Lohan, is still designing for a major fashion house, Yanofsky is a breath of sane air.

1. She mantra is “age appropriate.” During the story’s accompanying photo shoot, the singer has trouble navigating in a pair of L.A.M.B. stilettos.

“I don’t really wear them yet because I’m not 16,” she says.

Can you imagine one of the Cyrus clan saying “Noah won’t wear a dominatrix costume for Halloween because she’s not 10 yet”?

2. She has good taste. While Yanofsky admits that her closet overfloweth (that, at least, she has in common with Cyrus Spawn, The Elder)–it is filled with Marc Jacobs, Topshop, Chloé and Miu Miu—she is admittedly advanced for a 15-year-old. Miley may have spent her sweet 16 wearing Elie Saab couture at Disneyland (like the princess that she obviously is), but she subsequently revealed to the world that her closet is filled entirely with tank tops. Not that we have a problem with tank tops, but you see the distinction.

3. She’s determined not to be spoiled.

Certainly Yanofsky’s tastes require a grown-up budget, but the singer stresses that she is judicious with her spending. “If I have my eye on something like a Marc by Marc [Jacobs] bag, I would feel spoiled if my parents got it for me,” she says. “Instead, I’ll buy it with the money I earn.”

The only misstep in Yanofsky’s good girl with good clothes persona happens here:

As she tries on a sheer tank, she continues, “I always think, ‘Would Selena Gomez wear that? Would Miley?’

Oh dear. But, wait:

Well maybe Miley isn’t a good example because she dresses old, but you know what I mean.”

Phew.

Blackface keeps popping up in fashion editorials–on the heels of Lara Stone’s racial transformation and Tyra’s ANTM shoot comes V as the next culprit. [The Cut]

Karl Lagerfeld will star in a short documentary that follows him on September 10th as he worked at the Chanel offices. The film “The Blonde and I” even caught the designer whipping up a quick outfit sketch before speeding off to an airport photo shoot where he remarked, “I look good on the runway.” Of course you do Karl, you look good everywhere.

Video: Miley Cyrus has ruined tank tops for us

3 Comments

sept09tanktopIn the video after the jump–which we recommend watching only after you’ve had some strong coffee–Miley Cyrus cleans out her massive but boringly stuffed closet. She and her friend Mandy say “It’s like a tank top” so many times that you will never ever want to see one again. If you can make it past that, you’ll be treated to Cyrus pulling out one of her multitude of tanks, holding it up, saying “it’s like a tank top,” and putting it in a pile.

Also, please note that if you are on Miley Cyrus’ Christmas list you will be receiving an old clutch that she’s never used.
