by David Denicolo
The 25-year-old daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet has entered the family business.

And your music? "It's turned out to be some kind of 80s pop."
How would you describe your style? "I'm into a 70s feel right now. I've been wearing a lot of blues, bell-bottoms, sweatshirts, and stuff, kind of like Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday. I go to a lot of vintage stores, a lot of flea markets. I love finding one-of-a-kind treasures."
Do you have any of your dad's boas from the 80s? "Yeah, I do. They're beautiful. They're all in my apartment."
You've been linked romantically to Drake. You've dated Penn Badgley, and Michael Fassbender before that. Is it odd not being able to go on a date without the world knowing? "Yeah. I don't like it. It's bizarre to me that people spend so much time talking about other people they don't even know. There's a lot more stuff to pay attention to rather than who I'm going to dinner with."
