She counts Madonna and Kanye West among her admirers, though she can be airily dismissive of her peers. When I suggest that modern pop is as much a style game as a music game, she cuts me down: ‘I wouldn’t say that Rihanna or Justin Bieber or even Lady Gaga have a distinctive style — it changes according to whoever’s styling them.’
i mean.. she didn't /exactly/ lie? a stylist /does/ have a lot of say on what their client wears
like, it's literally their job.
True, but that doesn't mean they aren't distinctive in their styles either. I don't see the lie, but I understand why people feel like she can be full of it.
