feel like I’m on a mini vacation!”
Lea Michele exclaimed when she
arrived on the set of her second
Teen Vogue cover shoot. The star was
in happy spirits at our sun-soaked
ranch, located near Santa Clarita,
California, and loved the introspective
and dreamy photo session with pho-
tographer Giampaolo Sgura. In her
trailer the powerhouse singer played
tracks off her upcoming album, Loud-dd
er, as the glam squad worked theirrr
magic, and she snacked on healthy
foods like kale, tofu, and Ezekiel 4:9
bread between takes. Lea’s favorite
part of the near-perfect day? Spending
it with her best friend, actor Jonathan
Groff, who flew in from the San
Francisco set of his new HBO show,
Looking, to take part in the fun. “We’ve
been through so much together,” Lea
said. “Having my best friend here was
such a treat. I got a little teary-eyed,
to be honest!” She paused, adding
with a smile, “We met eight years ago
[performing in Spring Awakening],gg
and he’s still by my side.”

nyone who’s watched Glee knows
that Lea Michele (aka Rachel Berry)
loves a bold hair-and-makeup
look. But for her Teen Vogue cover, the mood
was soft, romantic, and natural.
To showcase Lea’s stripped-down
beauty, the star’s longtime makeup artist
Mélanie Inglessis focused on her skin,
massaging her face with moisturizer and
then applying luminous foundation and a
light touch of concealer. Going sans shadow
and eyeliner meant Lea’s voluminous lashes
got to take the lead. “Her lashes are longer
than the fake sets I carry!” Inglessis shares
with a laugh. A quick swipe of mascara—
black on top, brown on bottom (to keep it
subtle)—and Lea was camera-ready.
The hair, it turns out, was more of a
collaborative effort. Stylist Ben
Skervin blew it out and curled it
but asked Lea to put it up herself
for a more natural, lived-in look.
Taking a cue from spring
runways, Skervin topped off the
style by decorating her brown
strands with flowers and
ribbon. But there was one
more thing the star needed to
do on her own. “She said, ‘I
have a personal relationship
with my bangs,’ and asked if she
could blow-dry them herself,”
Skervin says. “She was a pro.” In
two minutes they were done,
“and they sat exactly where we
wanted for the whole day,”
Skervin says proudly. “She gets
all the credit.”

Letter fromthe Editor
PUFF PIECE
lectronic cigarettes are
all over the news here in
New York City. Our
health-conscious former mayor,
Michael Bloomberg, banned them in public
spaces, as he has successfully done with
regular ciggies. Everything about e-cigs is like
the Wild, Wild West: They are unregulated on
the federal level—in many states there is no
legal age limit to buy them, and there are
currently no federal advertising restrictions,
meaning makers are free to spend millions
marketing them to you. It’s even challenging
to gather basic health facts about e-cigs, as
much is simply unknown about their long-
term effects. Vaping appears less damaging than
smoking because users don’t inhale carbon
monoxide or tar. However, since e-smokers are
nevertheless ingesting nicotine as well as fine
metal particles (tin, lead, and nickel—ugh!),
vaping is probably merely the lesser of two
evils. Some people argue that e-cigs are
helping them to quit the even more toxic
traditional cigs, which could be a positive.
But if you’re vaping as a “safe” alternative to
smoking, be warned that the nicotine dose
you’re receiving is serious stuff—and very
addictive. Our
feature “Electric Youth”
lays out all the facts we
could gather at press
time, and the bottom
line is clear to me:
Don’t get hooked on
nicotine, no matter the
delivery system.

harriet charity verneyWhen your aunt is the late eccentric English
fashion icon Isabella Blow, style comes naturally.
Take it from Harriet Charity Verney, who spent
her childhood playing dress-up in Alexander
McQueen and running around backstage at
Philip Treacy shows. “Fashion is a confidence
booster and a complete game changer—I think
that’s pretty amazing,” the It Brit says. For our
“Modern English” story, she and Teen Vogue
style features director Andrew Bevan combed
through hand-me-downs from Isabella’s
collection, selecting pieces that match Harriet’s
own sense of daring, which was on full display
at the shoot. “I was told the horse was ‘a bit of a
bucker,’ and I was riding him with no tack
wearing a Vivienne Westwood corset and an
embroidered floor-length Elizabethan skirt,” she
explains. “It was wild!”

AGE: 28HOMETOWN: Des MoinesJOB: “I’m first assistant to fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia.”
oth of my parents are
doctors, and initially I didn’t
know that fashion could
even be an occupation. I was
premed at Mount Holyoke College,
and while waiting for lab results I’d be
thinking about how to redesign my
lab coat and make cool science
goggles! My interest in style started
with Teen Vogue. I used to get two
subscriptions—I’d cut up one to make
mood boards and keep the other so
I’d have a catalog of every issue. While
in college, I scored an internship in the
market department there. I commuted
back and forth from western Massa-
chusetts to New York City to finish
school and intern at the same time!
I landed my job with Giovanna
through the recommendation of
someone I’d worked with
while freelancing. When I
started, I was her second
assistant and then got
promoted. Now I help
Giovanna with each photo
shoot she styles. I handle
market and casting, pitch
stories, and attend shows. I
also coordinate looks at W,
where she’s a contributing
fashion editor, and at

Vogue Japan. On a typical day, IÕll wake up early to check in with people in
Europe, then those in New York, and later our contacts in Japan. In the after-
noon IÕll go on appointments. Sometimes in the evening IÕll attend an event with
Giovanna, and then weÕll have a shoot the next morning and be on set all day.
When it comes to styling a project, we start with our memories of the
shows we saw during fashion week. We browse the collections online for
a theme, whether itÕs a color or a silhouette. WeÕre always inspired by new
designers because they keep things fresh and exciting. Once we have a
direction, we coordinate receiving the clothing at our office, then start
compiling looks and trying them on models.
Giovanna is confident in my ability to help compose a beautiful
picture. When people work with us, they say weÕre more like collabora-
tors than employee and employer.
To me, sheÕs like a big sister! I
sometimes travel with her, and
once, when we were in Tokyo doing
a story for Vogue Japan, Giovanna
and I took part in late-night kara-
oke! (I rapped TLCÕs ÒWaterfalls,Ó
and she was superimpressed.) SheÕs
someone who never forgets to have
fun. ThatÕs what I love about her,
and thatÕs the epitome of what
fashion is supposed to be: a
celebration of style. One day I
hope to go on my own as a stylist.
The next step is to take on extra
responsibility so I can be more
like my amazing boss!Ó
solangeÕs tips1. Be positive. Attitude can get you almost as far as talent can.
2. Have other interests. Knowledge of art history, music, and current events is important.
3. Be resourceful. Do your research and ask lots of questions!

Rewind! Jane Keltner de Valle teams up with DJ Harley Viera-Newton to bring spring’s nineties-inspired looks into the here and now.
old school
’ve always felt a kinship with
Alexander Wang over our shared
love of nineties hip-hop, which
anyone who has attended a show or
after-party of his can attest to (his
New York store opening featured a
live performance by Lauryn Hill—
hello!). But when the lights went up
at his spring show and models hit the
concrete runway in leather dresses
laser-cut with his name, which was
also branded on athletic-inspired
waistbands, I felt as if I’d taken an
express train to my youth. Wang’s
wink back in time recalled the iconic
Calvin Klein campaigns of the era
starring Kate Moss and Marky Mark
(Mark Wahlberg’s name in his former
life as a rapper). And Wang was
hardly the only designer feeling
nostalgic. From the return of the slip
dress to raver style reimagined
(please leave the glow sticks at home
this time around), ’tis the season to
reference the nineties.

To test-drive spring’s takes on the decade, I ring up one of my favorite girls-about-town, Harley Viera-Newton. In addition to having a sharp eye for clothes, Harley doesn’t take herself too seriously and is a professional remixer (both in terms of dressing and DJing).
TAKE ONE: LOGOMANIA
via DKNY’s graphic tee. When I was growing up in New York City in the nineties, the DKNY billboard on Houston and Broadway was larger-than-life and iconic. Basic rule: Don’t mix or double up on logos. Too much of a good thing is always a bad thing. We decide to keep the palette a clean black and white, save for a strong red lip (one of Harley’s signatures). A slick pony finishes the look. The result: urban cool.
TAKE TWO: SLIP DRESSES as seen at Jason Wu, Max Mara, and a slew of other spring shows. For inspiration, look no further than patrician blonde Carolyn Bessette on the day of her wedding to JFK Jr., or Gwyneth Paltrow arm in arm with Brad Pitt at the 1996 Oscars. Consider it a testament to its enduring style that this look needs no updating. Give the slip dress a daytime spin with shower slides, and keep the makeup minimal and the hair straight.
web extra!LISTEN TO HARLEY VIERA-NEWTON’S FAVORITE
NINETIES SONGS AT TEENVOGUE.COM!
(Remember the flatiron? Time to bring it back.) Harley and I agree this is our personal favorite. ÒIt’s pretty and girly, while still being comfortable and easy to dress up or down for day or night,Ó she says.
TAKE THREE:
TECHNICOLOR RAVER as only Miuccia Prada could rehash it. Think primary-color shifts, bra tops worn over dresses, sporty jerseys layered underneath, and backpacks, barrettes, and
athletic socks. This is risky business. If you don’t have a master’s in layering, you would be advised to steer clear of this trend. As for me, I will be sticking by the adage that if you lived through it the first time around, sit it out the second. My memories of attending raves under the Brooklyn Bridge are good enough for me. Besides, I never really liked techno music to begin with. C

It was only natural, then, that Bethany’s next step
would be a foray into clothing design. Like something right
out of a teen dream, Aéropostale came calling, and she
jumped at the chance to translate her laid-back-but-girly
style into her very own line. Composed of basics and
statement pieces, playful accessories, and cheeky jewelry
(“OMG” necklace, anyone?), the collection merges
Bethany’s favorites (“I’m all about the overalls!”) with some
major inspiration from her social media–savvy viewers,
who like to keep her updated on their latest tastes. “I’m
always on Twitter, and they send pictures of their outfits,”
says Bethany, who incorporates the images into
inspiration boards that she references when choosing
everything from patterns to the fabric of the final pieces.
Talk about market research!
A material girl in a digital world, Bethany is nothing if
not dedicated to her fans. She credits her connection with
them for her meteoric success—no small statement, as she’s
been at it since just 2009. “I’m all
about building a relationship
with viewers and getting to
know them,” she says. “Their
support is incredible, and I’m
always going to be here for
them.” And, of course, ensure
that they have something cute
to wear every step of the way.

All that glitters doesn’t have to be gold. This season the storied Italian fashion house
took a cue from 1940s glamour for a collection of oversize baubles in bright
jewel tones. And though the shapes are decidedly
vintage, the pieces get a touch of the 21st century
with their cool, sporty bands. Who says old can’t be
new again?

ViewSNOOP DOGJazzy wears a Rodnik x Peanuts sweatshirt, $120, beanie, $59, and backpack, $120. Topshop jeans, $84, and earrings, $12. Details, see In This Issue.PHOTOGRAPHED BY EMMA TEMPEST.
f you want to wear your art on your
sleeve, look no further than U.K. label
The Rodnik Band. From Andy
Warhol’s Campbell’s soup can to
Salvador Dalí’s lobster phone, major
Pop pieces are the inspiration for
designer Philip Colbert’s bright and
playful clothes. For spring he turned to
another collection of iconic images: the
Peanuts comics. We enlisted ultracool
actress Jazzy de Lisser to take the
eye-catching looks for a spin on the
streets of London.
The 22-year-old Brit began her
acting career when a friend asked her
to audition for an independent film. “I
always wanted to direct and I’d never
done any acting,” she explains. “I
decided to give it a go and ended up in
the lead role.” The movie went on to
win an award at the Sundance Film
Festival and inspired de Lisser to enroll
in drama school in New York City.
Now she spends her time jetting
between Los Angeles and London for
auditions and parts.
And though her day-to-day style
veers toward the basic, she’s always up
for trying a fun look. “What I wear
depends completely on my mood,”
she says. “I usually think less is
more, but some days I wake up
and feel the complete opposite!”
For those times, she’s got her
Rodnik pieces to help turn
heads. “The collection is great
because you can keep it really
casual or dress it up,” she says. “I
love it!” —VICTORIA LEWIS

People Are Talking About ’ve never loved a role this much,” Maia gushes. The actress’s
immediate connection to Callie helped her identify with the
complex character. “If you look beyond her hard life, Callie
and I are similar,” she says. “She’s sweet, loyal, and loving.”
Personality traits aren’t all the two share: “A family member of
mine went through a situation like Callie’s, with a foster kid,”
she reveals. And growing up with a younger brother helped
Maia bond with her on-screen brothers, played by Jake T.
Austin, David Lambert, and Hayden Byerly. “We’re like
siblings, on and off set,” she admits.
Maia says executive producer Jennifer Lopez (yes, J.Lo!)
is among her most enthusiastic supporters. “Recently the cast
introduced her at a dinner in Washington, D.C.,” Maia says.
“When we stepped offstage, Jennifer hugged me and said, ‘I’m
so proud of you!’ She’s awesome.” Still, Maia says there are
fans—many living within the foster care system—who expect
the show to portray the darker side of their reality. “There is
abuse and mistreatment,” Maia acknowledges. “In later
episodes, Callie will spend time with girls
dealing with a more difficult foster upbringing.”
When she isn’t busy filming, Maia

Claire Danes as an idol, “as long as the role

MASTER CLASS
PARTING WAYS On the runways hair was up,
down, wigged, and crowned, but the middle
part emerged as the easiest (and most affordable!) way to update your style in real life. It was wet-look chic at
Marni and ultrasleek at Chloé. Concerned it favors only perfectly symmetrical faces (like Sui He’s and Liu
Wen’s, here)? Don’t be. Adding a bit of height at
the crown makes this flattering for all.

When makeup guru Val Garland perfected the mega-glam
lashes at Hervé Léger by Max Azria, it wasn’t with a mascara
wand. “I always use a fan brush,” she reveals. The key is to wiggle
the fan into the root after applying a generous coat of black mascara. “It fills in any
gaps and creates the illusion of thicker lashes,” Val says.

“IT CAN’T BE TOO PERFECT,”
says hair legend Guido. “When you have a great outfit on, there’s something even cooler about leaving the hair a bit messy.”
“THINK OF HAIR PRODUCTS AS YOU
WOULD COSMETICS,” Guido notes. It’s all about layering. For a slept-in finish, try Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam ($17, redken
.com for salons) on wet hair to lift roots, then finish with Balmain
Texturizing Salt Spray ($28, wonderlandbeautyparlor.com).
“BLOW-DRYING
IS KEY,” Guido says. A DIY trick we picked
up from stylist Paul Hanlon: Blow-dry your hair in a ponytail. It makes even the thickest, heaviest
strands featherlight.
IN FULL FLOWERNot a floral kind of girl? Think again.
At left: Dolce & Gabbana Dolce. At right, clockwise from top: Reiss Grey Flower, Aerin Lilac Path, Gucci Flora 1966, Kenzo Couleur Yellow, Elizabeth and James Nirvana White, Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria. Details, see In This Issue.
The latest crop of floral fragrances range from full-on pretty to downright rebellious.
Take Dolce—our top pick for an everyday scent—which offers a hint of both qualities. “It’s a delicate and feminine harmony of white flowers,” says designer Stefano Gabbana. The blend of sheer musks give it a distinctive quality without being too in-your-face. Also consider peony-based options like Elizabeth and James Nirvana White (soft and creamy) or Gucci Flora 1966 (slightly sweet and powdery)—they’re fragrant but not overwhelming.
Craving a romantic perfume? Aerin Lilac Path is positively swoonworthy. Should you prefer lighter, fresher scents, try Kenzo Couleur Yellow (citrusy) or Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria (fruity). In the mood for
something with an edge? Check out Reiss Grey Flower: The combination of jasmine, patchouli, and amber is beyond cool, and as far away as you can get from your mother’s standby scent. ÑANNE-MARIE GUARNIERI

ail art started as a microtrend. In-the-know pros at cult salons would
hand-paint embellished tips for a few select clients. Then, thanks to busy
fingers, they were blogged, pinned, Liked, shared, tweeted—and just
like that, over-the-top manis were everywhere.
The inevitable result? “People got tired of blingy nails,” says Jin Soon Choi,
one of fashion’s most lauded manicurists. “Now they want something more
modern and clean.” Case in point: the stark white, black-striped manicure she
created for Tibi’s spring 2014 show, above. “I saw so many
patterns, textures, and colors on the runways,” Jin
notes. “The nails can’t clash with the clothing.”
But that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun.
After Jin whipped up a custom blend of
white lacquer for models backstage
(“White polish is in, definitely”), she took
it up a notch with thin stripes of glittery
black polish that darted across just three
nails—two horizontal, one vertical. The
result: a new wave of impossibly chic
nail art. But before you dive in headfirst,
remember that you have to draw the line
somewhere.… —PHILLIP PICARDI

o one knows you better than your best
friend. Lea Michele and I have shared
some pretty unique experiences since
we met eight years ago. We’ve simu-
lated sex more than 1,000 times
onstage in Spring Awakening. We’ve performed
everything from show tunes to “Like a Virgin” on
Glee. I’ve watched her sing for the President and
accept Billboard’s first-ever Triple Threat Award,
and I’ve seen her laugh so hard that she peed her
pants. Since Glee, she has inspired people across
the world with her unapologetic ambition, insane
talent, and astonishing grace. Me, especially.
I sat down with Lea in Venice, California, at
one of her favorite restaurants, Gjelina, to talk
about her life and her debut album, and to ask the
questions only a best friend is allowed to ask.
JONATHAN GROFF: Sitting here in Venice, it’s a far
cry from when we met in that dark building in
Chelsea, auditioning for Spring Awakening.
LEA MICHELE: It’s so crazy. If you told me then that
now we’d be here doing an interview because I
was on the cover of Teen Vogue for my album and
you have your show Looking, I would be like…
LM & JG: [Simultaneously] You are crazy!

LM: You were literally raised on a farm in
Pennsylvania, and I grew up working in
the city. The fact that we became best
friends is so strange.
JG: What do you expect, when we had to
be so intimate with each other in Spring
Awakening during such formative years?
LM: If I had to kiss you right now, I most
certainly could not.
JG: Really?
LM: I don’t think I could. I really think I
would laugh too hard. Whereas we used
to make the hell out.
JG: Especially onstage. There was that
one time—well, maybe I shouldn’t talk
about it while we’re eating....
LM: You were sick!
JG: Yes. During the hayloft scene, where
we always open-mouth kissed. I had the
stomach flu and I was going to vomit in
your mouth. You opened your mouth
and I was like, “Nuh-uh.”
LM: At intermission you were vomiting
so hard! I was laughing hysterically.
JG: It wasn’t funny! I was in so much
pain. Ugh.
LM: Remember that night we hid from
security and slept in the scary-ass
Eugene O’Neill Theatre with John
Gallagher, Jr.? Oh, God, we had the best
time. We sat on the stage with a bottle of
wine and candles and prayed to the
theater gods for blessing us with such
success. We pricked our fingers—I still
have a black dot on my finger from that,
by the way. We put a little blood on a
piece of paper and framed it. Christine
Jones [the scenic designer] took that
piece of paper and built it into the set that
now goes around with all the Spring
Awakening touring productions.
JG: When we carved our names in the
theater, you said something so sweet. I
still remember it because it meant so
much to me.

it’s a best friend
you need,
LM: Are you going to cry?!
JG: A little bit.
LM: What’s wrong with you? Get it together!
JG: You said, “I would give up this entire experience for
our relationship.”
LM: It’s so true. At the end of the day I would most
certainly give up Spring Awakening, which was the
greatest experience of my life, to have met you. In this
lifetime, if there is anything you need, it’s a best friend.
It’s so crazy to talk about Spring Awakening because I
feel like we’ve lived 10 lives since then. I was the one
always saying to you, “I’ll
never get that part. No
one will ever hire me.”
The biggest limits are the
ones you make for
yourself. You believed in
me a lot.
JG: And now your debut
album is about to be
released. It’s kind of
incredible, huh?
LM: During Glee, I felt like
I was scratching that itch
of being an artist. I was at
a great place in my life
and I was so unbelievably
happy—my relationship
with Cory made me feel
like I could reach for the
stars and more. So I was
like, “I’m going to chal-
lenge myself and do this
record now.” It’s obvi-
ously pop, but I think it
shows me off as a singer.
JG: I feel like I’ve never heard you sound this way
before.
LM: It’s me. It’s Lea. It’s not Rachel Berry. It’s not Lea on
Broadway….
JG: Why is it called Louder?
LM: Louder is like me. I’m loud, I come from an Italian
family, I don’t stop talking.
JG: Oh, I know! What’s your favorite song on the album?
LM: My favorite song is, 100 percent, “You’re Mine.” I
listened to it the other day—it was the one song I had the
most emotional reaction to, just because that’s my
relationship with Cory.
JG: What was Cory’s favorite song?
LM: He was such a fan, you don’t understand. He would
be like, “You’re going to be a pop star! What are we
going to do? Are we going to, like, go on the road?” He
would say, “This is going to be big!” And I’d be like, “I
don’t know.” He heard every song and gave me his
notes on everything. He loved “Battlefield.” I’m getting
chills thinking about it. I would say “Burn with You”
was his favorite. He came into the studio that day.
JG: I feel like the world has been compassionately
watching to see how you would react to what hap-
pened. And across the board, you’ve presented yourself
in such a classy way. You really are the quintessential
role model. And as your friend, watching you go
through what you went through, I saw you exhibit so
much strength. Where do you think that strength comes
from? I can’t comprehend it.
LM: I somehow feel the insane love Cory and I had for
each other morphed
into this strength that I
have right now. There’s
just something about
knowing he’s watching
everything I’m doing
and feeling like I have to
do everything now not
just for me but for him. I
also have a safety net
below me—if I fall or if
it’s too much, my friends
and family will be there
to catch me.
JG: But there must be
things you do in your
daily life to stay
balanced.
LM: I’ve always been the
kind of person who puts
self-care and personal
relationships and family
before everything.
Building strong rela-
tionships with people
who matter—especially building a strong relationship
with yourself—is the most important thing. I’ve been
able to get through this because I worked really hard to
get my feet on the ground in life to begin with. If I’d
come into this situation in an unstable place as a
person, I couldn’t be doing what I’m doing. I’ve been
given the position of being a role model for girls, and I
take it on with such pride. What I’m dealing with right
now is the most unfortunate, horrendous thing in the
world, but if I could take anything from it and make it
positive, that’s the only thing I can do. There is a level of
strength in me that people can go their whole lives
without touching, but it’s there for you to harness and to
find. If I could do anything to not make this my reality, I
100 percent would. But this is my situation and I’m going
to do whatever I can to make it good for my life and
somewhat OK for myself and really beneficial to the
people who are watching me. I also have a charity I
work with, and I’m really proud of that.

this strength that I have right now”

AT AGE 16
allet has long been the province of the white and wealthy. Our daily toe-crushing
exercises make pointe shoes as disposable as tissues, but they can cost as much as
$80 a pair. I came from a San Pedro, California, family that didn’t always have
enough food to eat, let alone money to spend on a hobby, and it wasn’t until I was
13 years old that I could even take my first ballet class. Most of my dance peers had
grown up immersed in the arts, putting on their first tutus not long after they learned to talk.
They had summered in Europe, while I didn’t get my first passport until I was 17. Their families
had weekend homes. I had spent part of my adolescence living on the floor of a shabby motel
with my single mom.
But I also stood out in another, even more profound, way. I was a little brown-skinned
girl in a sea of whiteness.
I was 19 years old and had just been promoted to American Ballet Theatre’s corps de
ballet. The corps is an integral part of a dance company, the base that helps to weave the
balletic tale. But for most ballerinas the goal is to soar beyond it, to stand out enough to get a

featured part, and hopefully, one day, become a principal—that small band of stars. For now, though, I was just one of the cattle, and it was intensely competitive. No one in the main company knew that I was a prodigy who had started training 10 years later than most girls, nor did they care to find out. My reputation didn’t precede me; I had to start from scratch. I felt that the other dancers, and even some of the instructors, were constantly judging me, and that many wondered why I was there at all. Perhaps some of it was in my head, but despite my love for ABT, I felt very much alone.
When my second year in the corps came, I had another obstacle in my way: I was not the same ballerina that ABT had known before. I had finally had my first period and gained 10 pounds. Where there had been buds that could barely fill a bra, my breasts became full and voluptuous. They were so foreign to me that they were uncomfortably heavy, and I was startled when I looked in the mirror. My body had completely changed. Like myself, I soon realized that ABT, too, was searching for the little girl that I had been.
In the corps, you’re constantly switching and sharing costumes with other dancers in up to three different casts of the same ballets. There isn’t time or money for the company to have costumes tailored to each individual dancer and body. That year I was to perform in Giselle and Swan Lake. But the costumes I was given, handed down from other dancers with their boy-like frames, were too tight in the chest. The wardrobe department would have to let a seam out here, another seam there, to make them fit. I was bewildered and embarrassed—I could feel my confidence start to slip away.
Finally, ABT’s artistic staff called me in to tell me that I needed to lose weight, though those were not the words they used. Telling already-thin women to slim down might cause legal problems. Instead, the more polite word, ubiquitous in ballet, was lengthening.
“You need to lengthen, Misty,’’ a staffer said. “Just so you don’t lose your classical line.’’ I was five feet two and just over a hundred pounds. They suggested a nutritionist, but the company wouldn’t pay for it, leaving me boxed in. I was trying to survive on a corps member’s salary—$679 a week—in New York, the most expensive of cities. And now I had this additional pressure to try and hire a specialist to help me lose weight.
Like so many things that came late in my life—my introduction to ballet, a more mature body—I was also starting to feel another emotion most young people experience years earlier, often while they’re still in high school: rebellion. “Who do they think they’re talking to?’’ I would mumble to myself after a long, stressful day. “I have so much talent. Why do I have to be stick-thin?” My backup plan was to outdance everyone, to be so technically perfect and unbelievably lyrical in my movements that all anyone would be able to see was my talent, not my breasts or curves or the color of my skin.
Many assume that eating disorders run rampant in the ballet world. In a profession that is so focused on
appearance, where athleticism and a certain aesthetic are key, dancers will of course think about their weight. Yes, sometimes their eating patterns will become unhealthy. For young people who join a high-pressure, high-status company like ABT, it can be easy to feel adrift, like you don’t belong. And in your search for stability, it might be tempting to change one of the few things you can control: your body.
But contrary to myth, there are no weigh-ins by company staff. There are no stern warnings to lose weight “or else.” I can honestly say that in my 13 years with ABT, I have known only a handful of dancers who suffered from an eating disorder like anorexia. It never crossed my mind to starve myself or purge what I had eaten. And gradually, I began to find my balance. It was far from instantaneous—in fact, I think it took me roughly five years to truly understand my body. I had breasts and muscles, but, yes, I was still a ballerina. And ABT, seeing how hard I had worked and how well I was performing, eventually stopped asking me to lengthen. They came to see things my way, that my curves are part of who I am as a dancer, not something I need to lose in order to become one.
I still worry, far more than I should, about what the ballet world thinks of me—whether I will ever be accepted and seen as a well-rounded artist deserving of respect. Or will I forever be “the black ballerina,” an oddity who doesn’t quite compare? But in my moments of clarity I envision all the people whose lives have been touched by my story, who upon seeing my journey know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed.
I’ve come so far from the first ballet class I took at age 13 in my baggy gym clothes at the Boys & Girls Club. I know that by being here now, in this rarefied, difficult, elitist, beautiful world, I have made my mark on history and ballet. I will forever fight, performing like it’s my last show. And I will love every minute of it.
“My backup plan was to outdance
everyone...so that all anyone would be able to see was my talent,
not my breasts or curves or the color
of my skin”

udrey had been a smoker for four-and-a-half years
before she decided to try an e-cigarette. “My
friends were using e-cigs,” explains the now
20-year-old California native. “And I’d seen a few
commercials on TV and thought they looked pretty cool.”
According to a recent survey by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the number of high
school students who tried e-cigarettes more than doubled
between 2011 and 2012. And it’s no surprise, considering
the intense marketing seemingly aimed at teens.
“E-cigarette makers are spending millions of dollars on
advertising,” says Danny McGoldrick, vice president for
TEENVOGUE.COM152 MARCH 2014
According to a recent survey by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of high school students who
tried e-cigarettes more than doubled between
2011 and 2012
Just one cartridge has the nicotine equivalent of
several traditional cigarettes
research at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. At press
time there were no legal age limits to buy e-cigarettes in
many states, and no federal advertising restrictions—
meaning that unlike with real cigarettes, which aren’t
allowed to intentionally appeal to young people, makers
of the new kind can try to get you interested however they
want. From sponsorships at Bonnaroo to celebrity
endorsement deals to fun flavors like cherry, vanilla, and
peach, e-cigarettes want to be your new best friend.
Like many users, Audrey believes she’s healthier since
she traded traditional cigarettes for vaping. And the truth is,
she might not be wrong. “There’s no question that puff for
puff, an e-cigarette is delivering less bad stuff than a
cigarette, since it doesn’t contain tar or carbon monoxide,”
says Stanton Glantz, Ph.D., a professor of medicine at the
University of California, San Francisco, and director of the
Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education. “They
do, however, contain nicotine, ultrafine particles, volatile
organic compounds, and metals.” In other words, even with
the cleaner vapors, you can be inhaling tin, lead, and nickel.
Electronic cigs are too new for researchers to know what
the long-term effects are, but Dr. Glantz cautions that
inhaling metals can’t be good for you—period.
Not only that, but vaping can pose dangers even
beyond smoking the old-fashioned way: Just one
cartridge has the nicotine equivalent of several
traditional cigarettes. “With regular cigarettes, you smoke
one and it goes out,” Dr. Glantz explains, “but with an
e-cigarette, you can easily keep puffing until you consume
the whole vial of fluid, which gives you giant doses of
nicotine.”
No matter how it’s delivered, nicotine is addictive and
dangerous. And because e-cigarettes aren’t yet regulated by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (though they will
likely be soon), the amount of nicotine listed on a cartridge
label isn’t always accurate. “Adolescents are more
susceptible to the effects of nicotine because they’re still
going through critical periods of growth and their brains
are developing,” McGoldrick notes. “Research shows that
young people can experience symptoms of
dependence—including withdrawal and tolerance—after
minimal exposure to nicotine.” That’s why some people
fear that e-cigarettes are a gateway to traditional cigarettes
and other tobacco products.
“Using e-cigs is my way of relaxing,” Audrey says.
“I don’t see myself going back to the old kind, but I also
don’t know how much healthier e-cigarettes are.” Because
they’re a new phenomenon, no one does—and that’s all the
more reason to play it safe. —CELIA SHATZMAN

MODERNEnglish
o say Harriet Charity Verney marches
to the beat of her own drum is an
understatement. In the midst of
Britain’s ever-churning (and seem-
ingly endless) pool of ultracool It
chicks, this spitfire bon vivant seems more like she’s
strutting to the sound of her own electronic orches-
tra. While her counterparts prefer to follow the leads
of more relatable fashion heavyweights Alexa
Chung and Cara Delevingne, 21-year-old Harriet’s
distinctly throwback joie de vivre recalls a delicious
mix of a Brontë heroine, an East London rebel
without a cause, and a smart-talking forties dame in
one fell swoop. In other words, this Kool-Aid–
coiffed old soul’s got gumption—and lots of it.
Then again, Harriet is just upholding a familial
heritage of free-spirited females. Her adventurer
great-grandmother, Lady Vera Delves Broughton,
who had been an intrepid traveler since the 1930s, is
said to have accidentally taken part in cannibalism
while visiting a Papua New Guinea tribe. “She was
fearless, ferocious, and outrageous, and she will
forever inspire me,” Harriet says.
While Great-Grandma may have passed down
some of her guts and glory, Harriet—a model,
budding stylist, and writer for the likes of Vogue and
vogue.com—owes a lot of her moxie to her late aunt,
magazine editor (Vogue, British Vogue, Tatler) and
global fashion icon Isabella Blow. “My childhood
was hysterical. I was climbing trees in Izzy’s oversize
wardrobe,” Harriet says of growing up with her aunt
at Hilles House in the town of Stroud, a few hours
from London. Upon arriving at the manor (think
Downton Abbey meets The Royal Tenenbaums), it’s
hard not to become enveloped in the folklore of
Harriet’s lineage. Intermixed with the requisite coats

of arms and suits of armor is a smattering of couture coats and suits. The grounds are dotted with livestock, most notably a school of black (and only one white) sheep—as if even the animals are modeled after the family’s odd-man-out eccen-tricity. And while most walls talk, this century-old plaster is screaming. “Izzy wasn’t all fashion week, photo shoot, fashion week. She was incredibly maternal to designers, to friends, to us,” Harriet reminisces of her aunt, who helped launch the careers of Alexander McQueen and other bur-geoning designers, and who became the muse for many, including famed mad hatter Philip Treacy. “In the nineties there was something in the air in England—the YBA [Young British Artists] movement, magazines like The Face, and people like Izzy—cool Britannia! Even us country folk felt it.”
The current London exhibition Isabella Blow: Fashion
Galore!, which celebrates the iconoclast’s life and wardrobe, has not only proved her continued influence on designers and style icons (Lady Gaga, anyone?), but it’s caused many to see similarities between Harriet and her beloved patron aunt of fashion. “It’s hard sometimes because of the constant compari-sons and the ‘What was she like?’ questions, but she’d love it if she knew!” divulges Harriet, who began her career in the industry interning for Alexander McQueen when she was just 16. “It was my first taste of London,” she says. “Being around those clothes was amazing. I dressed up every day for him!”
Harriet, who cites Hula-Hooping as part of her daily routine (and I actually believe her), hasn’t stopped playing dress-up, which is why this editor was happy to share the
styling reins with her on our shoot. “Izzy would always stress that it’s all about silhouettes. I love craft and structure and clothes that fit,” the self-proclaimed sartorial hoarder explains. “I’ve gone from wearing nu-rave fluorescent pink Adidas tracksuits to rah-rah skirts and Ralph Lauren to full tartan looks. Now I’m wearing lots of very masculine woolen suits with ridiculous Victorian collared shirts.”
Much like Isabella, Harriet also has a keen interest in fostering young London designers. “It’s hunger and greed for something new to bite into,” she says. “Something new to wear or different to talk about. An incredible piece of clothing is a conversation starter that cuts out small talk, thank God!”
Yet chitchat seems to be a strong suit for this charmer, who mentions that she’s never been the bad girl—just one who goes against the grain. “My school was for girls who wanted to become ‘the wives of...’ and I was like, ‘No, thanks!’” Such self-assurance has helped Harriet start to forge her own path on the London scene, where everyone has an opinion about how one should stand out. “Feigning confidence is what makes you the most confi-dent,” she reveals. “I think that if you move fast enough, no one can catch up with you and tell you what to do.” To which we say: Full speed ahead! —ANDREW BEVAN

To max out a naturally voluminous texture,
hairstylist James Pecis suggests “giving your hair a
little back-comb at the roots.” Pro trick: “It’s
best done from behind your part so the teased portion
doesn’t show.” Polish off the look with a shine spray—try
Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine. Nur wears a Louis Vuitton
jacket. Michael Michael Kors jumpsuit. On both wrists:
Susan Alexandra cuffs, $225 each. Details, see
In This Issue.
AFRO BELLA
For full-on volume, Pecis recommends doing three key things: Blow-dry hair with a volumizing mousse from roots to ends (we love Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse), sprinkle roots with dry shampoo (try Bumble and Bumble Prêt-à-Powder), and then tease the crown for even more lift.FASHION EDITOR:

THE PILEUP
Turn an ordinary updo on its head with Pecis’s secret weapon. “I love using texture sprays to keep the hair light and full of life,” he says. For touchable volume like Clodelle’s, try L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle TXT It Tousle Waves Spray. Details, see In This Issue.
PORTRAIT
OF A LADY
“Sometimes you need to set hair so it won’t move in a storm,” notes Pecis. For everyday styles,
however, he recommends a flexible-hold spray that you can
“brush out to change up your look.” Try Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray—flip your head over and blow-dry hair straight up for extra
lift. Kate Spade New York capris (around shoulders), $258.
GRAVITY DEFYING
Braids, colored hair bands, and faux bangs—oh, my! Pecis’s inspiration? Afropunk Fest, Brooklyn’s cult summer music festival. “The energy of the youth culture and the diversity is mind-blowing,” he says. “There is also a slight nineties feel of rebellion and independence that influenced my work backstage.” Prada dress. On left ear: H&M metal ear cuff, $5 per pair. Details, see In This Issue.
CLUB KID
“Product buildup, natural oil, and even mineral deposits
from the water in your shower can weigh down your hair and
keep it from its full-volume potential,” Pecis says. Get
a clean slate by using a clarifying shampoo, like
Fekkai Apple Cider Shampoo, once a week. “Keeping
conditioner off your scalp and roots also helps immensely,”
he says. In this story: hair, James Pecis, Instagram @jamespecis; makeup,

Cory and I were very involved in the Chrysalis organiza-
tion, which is about trying to get people jobs. We went to
a lot of its events. He actually got me involved in the first
place, so I’m continuing on with it.
JG: Which one of your peers empowers you the most?
LM: Jennifer Lawrence, who is outspoken, beautiful, and
comfortable with herself. I love her. There are lots of
really brave, awesome girls in this business right now.
JG: You have your album coming out; your book,
Brunette Ambition, being released; and one more
season of Glee. What do you want beyond that?
LM: I want to do movies. I have some exciting things
coming up! And I would love to go back to Broadway.
Ryan Murphy just got the rights to Funny Girl, so we’re
hoping to do that at some point.
JG: What about personally?
LM: I don’t think I can really answer that question
because right now I’m focusing on my job and taking
care of myself. Maybe in a little while I’ll be like, What
do I want? But I’m not quite there yet.
JG: Now I have a double question: What’s the one place
you’ve been to that everyone should visit, and what’s the
one place you’re dying to go to where you’ve never been?
LM: The one place I’ve been to that everyone should go
to is Rome.
JG: Why is that?
LM: Because it’s my people! And the one place I’ve
always wanted to go is Bali. We were supposed to visit
Ryan Murphy there when he was filming Eat Pray Love.
JG: But then you had to do a mall tour. [Laughs] Do you feel
pressure to go out and be a part of the Hollywood scene?
LM: No way. I love my house. I’ve made it a sanctuary for
a reason. It’s my place where I can recover and heal and
be good so the next day I can sing. I have to remind
myself to add in that social time because if it were up to
me, I’d be at home with The Real Housewives of
Atlanta,!The!Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real
Housewives of Miami,!Shahs of Sunset,!Top Chef,
Homeland,!Revenge, and Scandal all the time.
JG: You know your friends will come over and watch
those shows with you whenever you want.
LM: The way my friends have been there for me lately is
remarkable. When we were at Cory’s memorial at the
Paramount lot, you and I were the last ones to walk in,
and I saw two rows of my close friends and family. The
entire row behind us was all my girlfriends—the most
strong, beautiful women. You would have thought they
looked like a—
JG: A force.
LM: They were all stunning—a whole row of them. A
force of women who stood behind me and were there
for me. I am so thankful for them.
JG: You know we’re all here for you.
LM: I’ve never had a best friend like you. I never had the
person who’s the person. The person you call, the
person who’s there, the person who gets you, the
person who makes you laugh. You know, that person.
JG: I never had that, either.
LM: Also, being an only child, I didn’t have a sibling to
go to if something was wrong. In high school it was the
other people who were so close and inseparable. If
someone had to be chopped off the friend list, it would
most certainly be me. And with you, for the first time, I
feel like I’m number one on the list. You are my first best
friend. There is such relief when you’re with the person
who gets you the most.�

age 12
what she’s wearing “A Rag & Bone top, a Cynthia Rowley skirt, a Bebe belt,
and Natalie & Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice boots.”
basic instinct “My style is casual—80 percent tomboy and 20 percent girly. I
don’t like to bring too much attention to myself. I’m too young to wear a lot
of designer clothes, but I like Topshop, Jack Wills, and Comme des Garçons
Play x Converse—their high-top sneakers are my favorite! Being in the
countryside, no one pressures you about the way you look, so I like to mix
pieces that are easy to wear with things that I love just because.”
the simple life “What I like most about living on our farm is that there is
always plenty to do, including hanging out in the tree house, taking apples
to the pigs, or horseback riding. In the springtime the light is really beauti-
ful, and I can see everything come into bloom.”
two of a kind “My mom [fashion consultant and writer Amanda Brooks] is
really helpful when it comes to fashion advice. She gives me great hand-
me-downs. I borrow a lot of her shoes because she has quite small feet—and
I don’t have that long before mine are bigger than hers!”
pony club “When I was little, I wanted to be a famous rider. As I’ve gotten
older, I’ve become interested in new things, especially since moving to
England from New York City. I like the sound of a stylist’s job, but I also have
interests outside of fashion, like art.”
