Kooky popstar, Lady Gaga, know for her lavish and out of this world outfits and costumes is collaborating once again with legendary fashion designer Giorgio Armani. The pair are no strangers to one another having worked together at the 2010 Grammy Awards and Gaga’s 2012 Monster’s Ball Tour.
The designer has created a select number of looks for the artist’s Born This Way Ball tour, which kicks off in Seoul on April 27th . The Asian tour will then move to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore then finally visiting us!
The custom Giorgio Armani wardrobe created for Lady Gaga is characterized by extreme forms and futuristic materials – latex, metal, studs, PVC – crafted with couture savoir faire.
One costume design includes a black bodice, transparent Plexiglas, black crystals and luminous studs create a Cubist composition of abstract guitars. The matching headpiece follows in the shape of a keyboard; the boots are black vinyl – insane!
“Collaborating with Lady Gaga is always an exciting experience for me. I admire the way she uses fashion as a scenic element and as a means to build a character,” says Giorgio Armani. “She is an artist of many talents and great intelligence. Creating stage costumes for her is a stimulating and creative exercise.”
We can’t wait to see what these look like in the flesh!
