Following the release of her explosively absurd premiere Rolling Stone interview earlier this week, Miley Cyrus is following up with another magazine cover, this time around for Fashion Magazine.
The magazine caught up with the former Disney star just 10 days after the MTV VMA performance that garnered attention of the masses (for both good and bad reasons) and it seems that all the hoopla surrounding the performance may have been good for Miley – as it shifted attention from what was actually looming: her split from fiance Liam Hemsworth.
In the Fashion Magazine article, Miley delves into how she delegates when it comes to her personal style, how she tunes out the critics and alas, she reveals that she wrote a song about her break from Liam back in February.
Check out some excerpts from the interview below:
On how she delegates when it comes to her personal style:
“I can go through so many clothes say ‘no, that’s not me’ right away. I’m so adamant and controlling and OCD about my work that I can scare some people—especially when it comes to clothes. I have a very specific style of my own and I think it is better to be stylish than trendy. I find vintage Celine or Chanel and mix it with athletic or vintage pieces makes a look modern and fresh. Vintage makes everything look punk.”
On critics and competition:
“I feel like I’m in a different lane now. When it comes to critics, I have my blinders on and I don’t really feel like I have to compete with other pop artists. I never think, ‘oh this performance is going to make her look bad or out-shadow her’ either but if there is no competition, there would be no reason for any of us to show up to work. At an office, everyone is trying to be boss. Pop music is the same. What I wear adds a factor that other girls can’t compete with.”
On “Drive”—a new song that alludes to her relationship with ex-boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth:
“I wrote it while I was working on Valentine’s Day—emotionally it was such a hard time. It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It’s a time when you want to leave but you can’t. It’s also about moving on.”
On taking style advice from Pharrell Williams:
“I found what I wore on the red carpet to the VMAs with Pharrell. It was a Dolce and Gabbana piece from 1992—the year I was born. He saw it and said, ‘you have to buy it.’ I think that outfit added a factor that the other girls couldn’t compete with. Pharrell says it’s not about what you’re wearing; it’s the way you wear it. That was a lesson I took to heart. I think it is important that I execute a look better than other people. Fashion is what separates me from everyone else.”
