lady gaga and elton john at the 2010 grammys
Click to viewincidentally, lady gaga's ensembles for the evening were designed and created by armani privé. haute couture is like all other works of art; not every piece speaks to every person, but the investment required to create a vision is worthy of respect. i can't imagine how much time it took to set the thousands of crystals on each of her outfits. "we hear lady gaga's music everywhere we go. it is like a soundtrack of our times. in addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon," signore armani said.
i must say, i agree. i haven't loved everything she's worn, but she is courageous. critics often accuse gaga of dressing for attention, as if she uses fashion to increase revenue, but i truly believe she would be chasséing around yonkers in her own outrageous designs even if she weren't famous. i think this is part of her identity. we should all be so fearless.
also, i want those glasses.
