17 November 2025 - Fashion.at Music Tip: 'Art Deco' by Lana del Rey (Parov Stelar Artifact Version)
Austrian electro-swing maestro Parov Stelar reimagines Lana Del Rey's "Art Deco" on his new album "Artifact" (out now). The track embodies Art Deco's essence through a stunning blend of electronic beats and orchestral elements—glamorous yet cold, luxurious yet uncertain. The central line "So Art Deco out on the floor" connects the iconic 1920s design movement—known for luxury, glamour, and modernity with an underlying coldness—to a woman "shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure." Like the angular elegance of Art Deco itself, the song captures surface sophistication masking inner vulnerability: a perfect portrait of the modern club queen navigating nightlife's dazzling contradictions.
