'Girls'
actress Lena Dunham covers the latest issue of Vogue US and also features
inside the pages of the issue in a full editorial with her co-star Adam Driver.
Lena is known for her eclectic and bold sense of style, and she speaks to Vogue
on her favourite designers. She says she does her best to avoid anything too
trendy because it looks old quickly. She also says she doesn't like to blow big
bucks on clothes. Lena hints that she isn't a huge Calvin Klein
fan: "I tend not to go for trends. You can only wear them for two
weeks... I really like Jil Sander, but it's so expensive. I find Calvin Klein
really hard to respect because he's everywhere. I view him as a clothesmonger.
But [my allowance of] five dollars a week isn't really enough. I'm just
looking."
Speaking on
her top buys and what labels she does buy clothing from, Lena points out her
favourite casual pieces that she loves to
wear: "I've always loved Comme des Garçons; I've always
loved Yohji Yamamoto. I'm into Charlotte Olympia flats. I really love a
Prada bag because they always have one weird detail that you didn't think
about. I always wear J Brand jeans because the waist is high . . . a
low-cut jean is a problematic thing for me."
Lena admits
in the interview that when she was growing up she dreamed of becoming a fashion
designer and made clothes herself. She shows off one piece to Vogue, commenting
on her design inspiration: "I tried to model this after Helmut
Lang."
