how the light shines in

If you think Lana suddenly switched up in 2020 when she was very explicitly always singing about questionable beliefs and people then you’re just a fucking moron 

One last interesting note for now, sorry for blowing up this thread today lol, but this auction house has also auctioned 5 of Lana’s other dresses.
 
They sold this one from her 2012 House Festival performance for $2000 in 2016. They did not state how they obtained it nor much info at all about it. This dress is originally from Topshop so it’s a common find, I actually have two of these (bought it in too big of a size initially, I still need to sell off some of my size duplicates) -

 
 
They sold this one from her 2012 Latitude Festival performance for $1100 also in 2016. They stated they sourced it from a female stylist (interesting because I believe at this point her stylist was Johnny Blue Eyes?) but she wished to be anonymous so they couldn’t provide any documents to support the dress, but still provided their house’s own certificate of authenticity. This one is also a commonly found Topshop dress, another one that I own lol -

 
 
They sold this dress from her 2012 H&M campaign for $2000 in 2016 again, stating that it’s the one she wore for the photoshoot, but did not state how they obtained it or much information about it. Again, this one was from her H&M campaign, so it was pretty easy to come by -

 

They listed this (actually) vintage dress in 2020 for $600, but it didn’t sell. They stated they obtained it from the pop-up which I can seemingly verify with a photo from the shop where you can see a bit of it in the left edge. Lana was never photographed wearing this though -


 
This one was also listed in 2020 for $1000, but also didn’t sell. They once again stated it was obtained from the pop-up shop, but I cannot personally verify this. I have quite a bit of photos saved of the clothes sold at the pop-up that I just looked through and didn’t see this one; however, I also cannot assume that every item sold was photographed. It’s also signed by Lana, but tbh the signature looks a little suspect to me. Just my opinion, but it does look different from her usual signature, even compared to other dresses she signed from the pop-up. She’s also never been photographed wearing this - 

 
Here’s an example of another dress she signed and sold to a fan at the pop-up, which looks much more like her typical signature -


 
Anyway, not sure what to make of all of this lol but it is really interesting that this is now their 6th Lana clothing piece they’ve auctioned, yet I do feel doubtful about the authenticity of some of these x

HELLO?????!!?
 
I saw that exact thing with the collar and I just thought it might have just been a weird angle cause why would a site auctioning off Elvis Presley items have a fake dress on the site...
I also couldn't find any photo of the dress from the pop up shop  Will add it to the thread title

Okay wait… uh.. this might be a scam?? The dress they have pictured does NOT appear to be the one Lana wore.
 
This is a picture of the dress that was sold in the pop-up shop. It was also signed for the fan who originally bought it, which is not noted in that auction description - 
 
 
 
Now look at the picture of Lana wearing it and the one the auction house has listed, specifically on the right side. The photos of Lana wearing the dress and the photo from the pop-up show that the right side of the dress is yellow and green. The one from the auction house shows mostly purple? And the inner collar of the original is yellow and pink where the one from the auction house shows pink and red.
Then look at the front pleats. The pictures of the dress from the pop-up shop and on Lana show a green panel, a panel of purple and red, and then a purple panel. The picture of the dress from the auction house shows a red pink and yellow panel, a green panel, and then a blue and purple.
Also if you look at the big red spot on the left edge right above where the seam meets, you see a white dot right on the left edge in the auction house picture. On the pop-up and LDR picture, that dot veers more towards the right. The placement of the red&pink patches above it also look different.
& again, they did not note that the dress was signed, which the original is, and I feel like that’s an important detail to note.
I’m going to contact the auction house about the authenticity of the dress so no one is cheated lol there’s a possibility they maybe used a stock photo of the dress or the way it’s pleated makes it appear different in that photo, but… something seems off x

Edit: one more discrepancy I noticed is that Lana altered the sleeves to be smaller/less drape-y (she commonly alters a lot of her stage wear) If you look at this photo of her wearing the dress with her arms raised, you can see that the sleeves don’t drape as they originally do. You can look at my photo wearing the dress a few posts above to see how the sleeves originally fall. When looking at the auction house photo, the sleeves look to be unaltered as you can see the extra length draping at the sides. Lana has them shortened, which is more evident in the popup picture - 

call me crazy but it seems like her relationship with Jack was always 'complex' - he posted a story of valentines flowers one year with a caption like 'its a love hate kinda thing' and she posted the same flowers on her story with no explanation a few days later lmao

Daddy, I miss them, I'm in the mountains, I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get

Changed my life lowkey

If everybody likes it maybe it’s not that good
