What your favourite music stars wear on stage, backstage, in their video clips, off duty... where to find it, who styled them and much more. Only on Gaga Fashionland's sister site:
You already know the top part of Gaga’s outfit for MTV Video Music Aid Performance, that afterwards was displayed in Candy store shop window,…
… was created by Christian Dada.
The bottom part (I believe further customized by Haus of Gaga for this occasion)…
… were “Double Forward” thigh-high side split pants from Camilla and Marc“Infinite Variability” collection presented back in May during the 2011 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.
Collection that for Camilla and Marc was an exploration of colour and voluminous shapes, “a new impression with strong bold colour, overblown prints and opulent fabrics”.
Below some of the close-up captures I loved.
You can check-out the whole collection (as well as the past ones) on their official site.
Many of you were asking me about the “anime eyes”.
The make-up artist chosen by Gaga for that special night was Yuki Make.
Yuki believes Japanese manga as their sub-culture is something they can be proud of. She proposed to draw a large eyeball on the eyelid, just like Japanese manga.
The most important point was to make it look beautiful when the eyes were wide open as well. For Yuki the experience was beyond impressive: “Gaga wasn’t just a performer, but she shared the same perspectives of the producer, designers, make-up artists and all those artists involved in the creation. Each creator had a strong sense of responsibility and passion to complete the work. This is exactly what I always wanted to do. Gaga appeared to be as flexible as possible by not giving us any minor instructions. There never was any refusal, criticism nor any negative attitude. The same thing applies to her staff. It was very impressive how nice and sweet everybody was”.
Underneath Alexander McQueen The Horn of Plenty dress, Gaga wore this leopard print jacket with gold Medusa buttons from Gianni Versace SS 1992 collection, combined with black trousers with gold detailing.
MMVA hair and make-up by Frederic Aspiras and Billy Brasfield respectively!
And a brief travel back to visit the show so you could see it in motion. Enjoy!
Gaga’s medley of “Telephone” and “Dance In The Dark” performance was her very personal tribute to her dear friend Alexander McQueen.
Under the white cloak…
… she wore a stunning barely there just body & lace bodysuit and matching lace embellished shoes. Everything created by Alex Noble as “a delicate payment of respects to the late great McQueen”.
When I saw it, it felt like travelling back in time in Alexander McQueen‘s archive to 1996…
The sculpture you saw on the stage was created by Nick Knight. Pity I didn’t find any better photo so far. If you have one, please drop me a line. Would looove to have it here.
Last night totally belonged to Gaga.
3 nominations. 3 awards.
So here I am, standing in the laaarge queue to congratulate you!
All the hard work paid off. Do you still need to pinch yourself to believe it, honey?
What was your first thoughts when you saw Gaga walking the red carpet yesterday in the white dress cape byFrancesco Scognamiglio?
I mean what images or words were popping instantly to your mind?
My inmediate thoughts were… it’s unbelievable how far she got so far and this is just the beginning… Vogue… Brit Awards 30th Anniversary three tier cake… the Phantom of the Opera… Marie Antoinette…
I said it already, I know, but I don’t mind repeating myself. What I love about Gaga is she makes you think while constantly surprising and maintaining you entertained the way no other artist does. Inspired by many. Inspiration for so many more.
Look at this lace beauty by Philip Treacy… Hmmm… Delicate. Bold. Delicious.
Make-up by Billy Brasfield.
Mr. Magic Hands behind her hairdo this time was hair stylist Malcolm Edwards. Love, love, looove!
And look what I got for you just the moment I was about to publish this:
Francesco Scognamiglio‘s sketch for Gaga!
The white wonder our girl walked the red carpet in was “silk flounces completely covered by neoprene that simulate a gorget overstated in its dimension and take up the “Opera” theme” as requested by Gaga herself.
For Yuki the experience was beyond impressive: “Gaga wasn’t just a performer, but she shared the same perspectives of the producer, designers, make-up artists and all those artists involved in the creation. Each creator had a strong sense of responsibility and passion to complete the work. This is exactly what I always wanted to do.
