Gaga for Philip Treacy
Philip Treacy takes millenial millinery to new heights! His outlandish creations play with the sculptural nature of hast- which, in Treacy’s world aremore like sculptures that play with their site-specific locations on people’s heads. Hats don’t just hide bad hair days, but become floral landing pads for butterflies, another face, or a gloved hand, the moon and stars, and beyond. His designs are favored by everyone from Lady Gaga to British royalty. Talk about a heshin’ haberdasher!

Lady Gaga is Gaga!
I have to say, I was a bit skeptical over the whole Lady Gaga thing. But her new video is a spazzy and eccentric bizarre meta-pop ditty that mocks the very genre it has conquered……Completely over the top, replete with bear skin rug mantle cape dress, snake bejeweled lime green catsuit and platforms and more. If David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust battled over clothing with Alice Cooper and Britney Spears, it might look something like this.

Paparazzi
I’ll start this post by saying that I’m not a fan of Lady Gaga’s music but you can’t deny that this video is one of the most bizarre, creative, disturbing music videos that has been made in the last couple of years.
Directed by Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna, Prodigy), the epic 8 minute video starts slow but right around the 3 minute mark all hell brakes loose as she is tossed off a balcony and left a bloody mess, riding around in a tricked out wheelchair with a bedazzled neck brace, dancing in crutches and bustier and matching helmet. The costumes alone deserve an award.
