15 KELSEYLU

L.A.-BASED AVANT-POP cellist and singer-songwriter Kelsey Lu has always had an eclectic approach to fashion, mixing cutting-edge looks with antiquated and soulful finds. “I grew up going to thrift stores a lot with my parents, and I think that kind of shaped ways of me just playing with things that already have a life within them,” they told Refinery29 in 2016. “I’m trying to marry that with younger, up-and-coming designers.” Lu’s recent video, for “Love & Validation,” shows their aesthetic range, as they transition from sleek black leather to a minimal, tribal look, with their hair arranged into a striking crown.
