Darkly luxurious and elegant, the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) [Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-cotton-hotel-italia-robe) August 2012 editorial embraces the retro-kitsch style that songstress Lana Del Ray has brought to the fashion scene. From wooden panel backdrops to fur bedding and even the appearance of a cat, the set for the photoshoot complements the side of the singer that the world has come to know and love. Big-haired, seductive and oozing vintage glamor, Lana Del Ray is a true knockout in the magazine.

Shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth, the Vogue Italia August 2012 editorial also showcases some [gorgeous gowns and cocktail dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich). Full of bright colors and fun textures, the outfits are eye-catchingly elegant. The looks were perfected with glossy locks, cat-eyes and, as always, full lips.
