Emerging actress Lana Condor talks Asian representation, engagement, and new movie, Moonshot, in exclusive interview with Grazia USA. Available nationwide NOW.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Grazia USA, the American version of the famed Italian fashion bible Grazia from the Mondadori Group, has unveiled Lana Condor — the star of Netflix’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy — as its latest cover star for the publication’s second print issue.

The Grazia USA “Spring Fashion” issue, with a domineering and industry-leading 356-pages, celebrates the latest and greatest from global runways, along with a special focus on HOPE — the people and products changing the world for the better.

“Lana is a modern mogul for the rising generation,” said Melissa Cronin, President of Pantheon Media Group, the publisher of Grazia USA. “She is authentic, intentional, and driven. Our Spring print issue is a celebration of brands and people who are championing positive change, and Lana really personifies that movement.”

Wearing an Oscar De La Renta set, La Silla shoes and De Beers jewelry, Condor sat down with Grazia USA correspondent, Maggie Kim, for an exclusive cover interview to discuss everything from Asian representation to her engagement to longtime boyfriend, actor and musician Anthony De La Torre, and her latest ​​leading lady role opposite Riverdale heartthrob, Cole Sprouse, in HBO Max’s new romantic comedy, Moonshot, out March 31.

When it comes to love in real life, the off-screen bride-to-be tells Grazia USA it’s the opposite of fireworks and drama: “There’s this weird misconception that love has to be difficult,” she muses. “It’s messy and painful and there’s so much passion, your world burns down. It’s beautiful on paper, but it’s not right. Love should feel safe and comfortable. With Anthony, I feel like I’m in a cocoon. Love doesn’t need to break you apart.”

At just 24-years old, Condor could well be this generation’s Molly Ringwald, an atypical romantic lead who usually gets the guy, but she’s also a remarkable woman who just produced her first TV series Boo, Bitch, on Netflix, in which she also stars.

Speaking of her latest leading lady role in HBO Max’s new romantic comedy, Moonshot, Condor confesses her childhood dream was to be an astronaut. “That was what I was so initially drawn to with Moonshot,” she says. “Matt Damon goes to space, but when do college kids get to do it?”

With an already significant career under her designer belt. Condor also tells Grazia USA she spent much of the pandemic, like most of us, reflecting on meaning and happiness. When asked about her hopes for the future, she says with clarity, “If anything, the past few years have taught us that the future is so unstable and everything can change on a dime. I’m working so hard at keeping the dream alive, being happy with just the present moment and not being afraid to make plans for the future.”

The full interview with Condor is published in the “Spring Fashion” issue of Grazia USA, alongside special editorial features with admirable changemakers including; Singer-Songwriter Trevor Daniel, President of Amazon Fashion Dr. Muge Erdirik Dogan, Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry, Nike’s Chief Talent, Diversity, & Culture Officer Felicia Mayo, IMG’s Fashion Division, and more.

In keeping with the luxury-inspired editorial content, the Grazia USA Spring issue also features a curated list of high-end designer advertisers and trusted brands including (in alphabetical order): American Ballet Theatre, AnOnlyChild, Armani, Bentley, Boost Lab, Cartier, Corcoran, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Guess, Hedgerow Exclusive, Knewz, Lafayette 148, Le Vian, Loro Piana, Louis Vuitton, Malibu Beach Inn, Omega, Prada, Project Unfollow, and WelleCo.
