Amanda Warner - a.k.a. MNDR - is such a knockout in Mark Ronson's new music video - watch the music video for 'Bang Bang Bang' HERE - that it's hard to decide who is more of a babe... Ronson, or MNDR?
Working with producer Peter Wade, MNDR has been recording her debut full-length album. In an interview with SESAC, she discussed being a perfectionist, needing to "make every single track sound like a single. I don’t want to put out an album that sounds like a bunch of weaker versions of ‘C.L.U.B.’ which was finished a year ago. So there’s going to be a very slow song, an epic song, straight-up pop... just a wider base all around." Sounds like a girl after our very own heart!
MNDR is also single-womanly responsible for designing the Yeah Yeah Yeah's synthesizer rig - having moonlighted as their live keyboardist - thanks to her 303s and 808s smarts... and we are just as in love with her swagger-worthy style.
ELLEN ALLIEN (designer/producer/DJ) is MNDR's favourite designer. You can shop the Ellen Allien online store HERE. |

MNDR gets her vintage glasses from PHOENIX OPTICAL - a store in Oakland, but unfortunately you can't see their frames online. Giant Vintage is a pretty amazing substitute though... and the below are all close to MNDR's signature frames, priced between US$16-20/NZD$22-28.
DANIKA's BXNY Jewellery range can be regularly spotted - especially the Fringe With Benefits necklace - on MNDR while on-stage, or out and about. In her own words: "brain frying"! Shop the below jewels HERE - all priced between USD$25-90/NZD$35-128.
Dark blue skinny jeans... shop a wide range HERE.
Acid wash jeans - try this William Rast black acid wash 'Jerri' ultra skinny pair - priced at USD$119/NZD$168 HERE.
Vintage band t-shirts! The Doors (especially a Jim Morrison print) and Black Flag seem to be favourites of MNDR's... ACID MERCH has a selection of Black Flag t-shirts HERE - and a Jim Morrison print HERE - for USD$16.90-18.45/NZD$23.90-26.
ELIZABETH SPIRIDAKIS is a favourite stylist of MNDR's. Check out some behind-the-scenes photos below, from an editorial and press shots photoshoot. Spiridakis' 'White Lightning' blog is a real style treat as well - click HERE.
