Miguel connects with The Guardian for a new fashion shoot lensed by photographer Lado Alexi. Outfitted by stylist Jane Taylor-Hayhurt, the fashion-forward singer is pictured in pieces from the likes of Balmain and Haider Ackermann. Known for his smooth, sultry tunes and chiseled abs, it’s surprising when Miguel opens up about his upbringing. The Waves singer shares, “My mother was really into her religion, and I was, too, to be honest with you. But at the same time I was torn, because as a kid you want to do things. And my mom was very keen on keeping me away from temptation. I was not a part of the social scene in high school. I wasn’t going to parties, I wasn’t drinking, I wasn’t smoking, I definitely wasn’t smoking weed, I wasn’t having sex. Late bloomer. Really late bloomer.” Read more on TheGuardian.com.
