Lana Del Rey turns up the heat for Fashion Magazine's Summer cover shoot 2013. Lana tells the publication about the support from the fashion community, “People in fashion rescued me. Because they are so much more removed from the music arena, they felt it was OK to support me when I needed it most. They never had any baggage about who I was.”

With fashion direction by Zeina Esmail, stylist Heidi Meek selects retro glam pieces from the likes of Sally Lapointe, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana for the “Born to Die” star’s beach outing. The summer issue of Fashion hits newsstands on May 20th.

Lana del Rey defines what 'stunning' is in the music video for, "Young and Beautiful", the first single from "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack.

Major! In the video, Lana sings about life, love and age while looking simply exquisite as an orchestra plays the "Young and Beautiful" notes. A very simple music video, but in a way I feel it is what a song as personal, and intimate like the ballad "Young and Beautiful" is required.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Lana Del Rey’s video for “Young & Beautiful”?

lyrics

I've seen the world
Done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, the city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in, the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful

Dear lord when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him
Father tell me if you can

Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful

The Canadian singer dresses up in the clothes she wore for early singles like Sk8ter Boi in the video for new tune Here’s To Never Growing Up.

In the high school prom-themed shoot the star is seen skateboarding down corridors and playing guitar on stage. And the youthful rebellion continues as 28-year-old Avril is also seen partying in classrooms and a swimming pool.

LYRICS Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it’s getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

Call up all our friends
Go hard this weekend
For no damn reason,
I don't think we'll ever change

Meet you at the spot,
Half past ten o'clock
We don't ever stop,
And we're never gonna change

Say, oh just say forever, stay
If you stay forever, hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it’s getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

We'll be running down the street, yelling kiss my ***
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that,
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing here's to never growing up
Oh woah oh woah here's to never growing up
Oh woah oh woah here's to never growing up

We live like rock stars
Dance on every bar
This is who we are,
I don't think we'll ever change

They say just grow up but they don't know us
We don't give a f**k and we're never gonna change

Say, oh just say forever, stay
If you stay forever, hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it’s getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

We'll be running down the street, yelling kiss my ***
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that,
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing here's to never growing up

Oh woah oh woah here's to never growing up
Oh woah oh woah here's to never growing up

Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

Ohhhhhhh

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it’s getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

We'll be running down the street, yelling kiss my ***
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that,
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups

Singing here's to never growing up
Oh woah oh woah here's to never growing up

Oh woah oh woah ( raise your glass and say )
Here's to never growing up

Marc Bouwer is a fashion designer who was raised in South Africa and now works in New York City.

Upon winning the South African Vogue Young Designers Award, Marc Bouwer moved to New York City to further pursue his dream of dressing Hollywood. Shortly after, Bouwer's portfolio raised the eyebrows of designer, Roy Halston Frowick. Bouwer apprenticed with Halston fine tuning his design skills, particularly draping. Bouwer's "cut" and modern use of stretch fabrics, such as jersey and spandex, in evening wear coined the term "bathing suit gown" and gave way to "athletic glamour" . Opening house in 1990 with business partner, Paul Margolin, Marc Bouwer Couture has since graced the covers and pages of publications including Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, Glamour, and InStyle. Each piece tailored to perfection, Marc Bouwer Couture celebrates starlets as well as their iconic figures walking the red carpet on clients such as Zhang Ziyi, Beyoncé, Emily Blunt, and Lydia Hearst. Actress Angelina Jolie arrived at the 2004 Academy Awards in a white satin Marc Bouwer gown, later named one of the best Oscar dresses of all time by André Leon Talley. Bouwer also had the pleasure of walking friend and singer, Whitney Houston, down the aisle when he designed her wedding dress along with various gowns and costumes for countless breathtaking performances. In February 2012, Patti Stanger was one of a group of celebrities that walked down a catwalk in various red dresses for the 'Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show, part of New York Fashion Week. Patti wore a size 2 Marc Bouwer red dress.Most recently Bouwer helped in reintroducing us to loyal client and friend, Shania Twain, designing the costumes for her Still The One Tour which opened December 1, 2012 at Ceasar's Palace. Bouwer further extends his inspiration of everything woman and love of couture in allowing his designs to stray from the red carpet and into every woman's closet with projects such as QVC M by Marc Bouwer sportswear, Glamit, and his new line of party dresses, Marc Bouwer Hybrid.Marc Bouwer has not only modernized glamour but also the idea of a fashion show. Bouwer was the first American designer to produce a virtual fashion show in response to economic struggle across the globe as well as in respect to the environment. As opposed to bringing us to Bryant Park, Bouwer took us, and his inaugural Spring/Summer 2009 collection, to the web. Not only did this new medium of fashion allow friends and clients to experience the collection if unable to physically attend a show, but it also opened the experience into the offices and homes of stylists, buyers, journalists, and fashionistas everywhere. Bouwer felt it was his "social and environmental responsibility" to pave way to such a movement "minimizing impact and waste". Bouwer virtually presented his Fall 2010 collection, starring Candice Swanepoel, before taking the experience one step further. In February 2011 Bouwer was the first designer to present a virtual 3D fashion show with his Fall 2011 collection starring model Selita Ebanks.
