We’ve tapped a few of our favorite tastemakers to share what inspires them about beauty, and beyond—how they live their lives, who they look up to, and what’s driven them on their creative paths.
Laufey
MUSICIAN
“My goal is to bring jazz and classical music to my generation through a more accessible road,” says LA-based, Icelandic-Chinese superstar Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy). Since the September 2023 release of her GRAMMY-winning second album Bewitched, the composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has proved how staying true to oneself can result in creating a space where people can find themselves. And at 25, she’s just getting started. With sold-out tours worldwide, performances with the LA Phil and China Philharmonic Orchestra, an appearance at the Met Gala, and TikTok-viral beauty looks—she’s charting her own path while her music climbs the charts.
