Rita Ora: 'I'd Love to Be the Female Kanye West'

Rita Ora rocks a bespoke bomber jacket on the cover of Asos Magazine‘s September 2012 issue, on newsstands July 30.

Here is what the 21-year-old “How We Do (Party)” singer had to share with the mag:

On her style inspiration: “I always thought Gwen Stefani was so cool. I think I’m man enough to admit she made me want to wear red lipstick. When I saw it on her, I thought she was the prettiest person in the world.”

On media’s eagerness to label her “the next Rihanna“: “It’s a great comparison but I don’t think about it. When the album’s out, it’s going to separate me from that, without me having to say anything.”

On Kanye West: “He’s one of my fashion icons. I’d love to be the female Kanye. I think he’s so cool and effortless.”
