WATCH IT: Lana Del Rey "National Anthem" (Anthony Mandler, dir.)

WATCH IT: Nicki Minaj "Starships" (Anthony Mandler, dir.)

What if there were news reports of a strange and gorgeous alien race that zooms in from beyond the stars to have a raving party on seaside volcanoes in Hawaii? What if it was known that Anthony Mandler got hired to shoot this other-worldly Coachella with blazes of hypnotic colors and trip-tastic effects? What if the inter-galactic star of the show was Nicki Minaj? Would anyone be surprised? Would everyone watch? Silly questions. --> watch "Starships"
