"   Photo: Nikko LaMere  Understatement of 2011: Sky Ferreira caused a scene. With a perfected pout, a killer blonde mane of disheveled curls and a not-so-innocent gaze, the 18-year-old scored a slew of international fashion magazine spreads (including ELLE!) and yes, that is her smirking on billboards across downtown Manhattan amid a sea of Steven Meisel-shot models for CK One. You&amp;#039;d be remiss to mistake the budding provocateur as just another here today, gone in three months, NYFW front-row-sitting it-girl. With 2011\u2032s much lauded electro-pop heavy EP, As If!, under her power pop dynamo belt, Ferreira&amp;#039;s been quietly working away at her full-length debut. On the eve of her biggest year yet, we checked in with Ferreira to chat about her majorly buzzed-about new tunes ELLE: All you want for Christmas is...Sky Ferreira: For the weather in New York City to be over 50 degrees. ELLE: What&amp;#039;s your best kept staying-warm-in-NYC secret?SF: My leather jacket. It has a sheep skin lining and I just layer it with a sweatshirt and I&amp;#039;m ready to go. I don&amp;#039;t have to look like Randy from A Christmas Story... ELLE: What can you tell us about the LP you&amp;#039;re working on?SF: I&amp;#039;m releasing a single this winter. I&amp;#039;ve been writing with my boyfriend Nick, who&amp;#039;s in the Virgins, for the past year or two. I&amp;#039;m working with Jon Brion [ed note: major Fiona Apple producer] in the new year and possibly recording with Shirley Manson and Greg Kurstin. I&amp;#039;ve been working with Greg since I was like, 15-years-old. This recording process is about making good music and collaboration. All of the people I&amp;#039;m working with believe in what I&amp;#039;m doing and it really makes a difference. I&amp;#039;ve made about 5 debut albums at this point, but this one is where my heart is truly at... and no label set backs! ELLE: Any fun plans to ring in the New Year?SF: Last year I didn&amp;#039;t go out on New Years&amp;#039; Eve. I tend to get social anxiety/anxiety attacks so I kind of avoid it. I&amp;#039;ll celebrate 4th of July, Halloween, and New Years&amp;#039; Eve a few days before or after when it&amp;#039;s not so overwhelming. ELLE: What was your most horrifying NYE memory?SF: Being trapped in Downtown LA and my friend&amp;#039;s brother shoving his tongue down my throat. Same year, obviously. ELLE: What&amp;#039;s a dream musical collaboration you&amp;#039;d like to see in 2012?SF: You know, I have NO idea. I&amp;#039;d like to see Fiona Apple starring in a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino or something. She&amp;#039;s so beautiful and I think she could be really funny. Obviously he&amp;#039;s amazing and I think that car-washing scene in Pulp Fiction is one of the funniest scenes in film history... besides the Weird Science bar scene of course. ELLE: I know you&amp;#039;re a bit of a pop culture junkie. Do you have a favorite pop culture obsession of 2011?SF: Courtney Stodden is probably my favorite. I want to do a music video of us at a water park and getting in a cat fight in the lazy river. Lots of weave pulling and Courtney would pour her Big Gulp on top of my head. ELLE: And a personal highlight for you in 2011?SF: Singing &amp;quot;If You Could Read My Mind&amp;quot; with Mario Testino at his anniversary party. It was so sweet.
