THE WORLD OF LADY GAGA

Gaga keeps it simple for Harper's Bazaar.

A few months ago, Donatella Versace threw open the doors of the Versace archive in Milan, which contains pieces from the glorious, Medusa’d peak of the Gianni years, for Lady Gaga to plunder at will. “It was me and my friends,” Gaga remembers of this particular fashion moment. “We were all running around this warehouse laughing and putting on jackets and shoes. We started crying at one point. I’ve been dreaming of seeing those outfits my whole life.”

It’s not a secret that Lady Gaga loves to dress up — in Mugler, in Alexander McQueen, in meat. Lately, “there are some amazing emerging kids from Parsons. I’ve been wearing a lot of young designers,” she explains. She wore a custom-made Hussein Chalayan dress in her recent “Yoü and I” video and chuckles that without McQueen, “I’d be naked.” But for this shoot, which will soon be seen in a “fashion film” created in collaboration with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, a basically barefaced Gaga is very deliberately dressed down.

While this might seem a departure from more theatrical Gaga garb, she doesn’t see the slightest difference. “I don’t really view it as ‘natural,’” she explains. “I think that artifice is the new reality. It’s more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do. Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.”

But does she ever look in the bathroom mirror in the morning and think, Here we go again? “Sometimes I do. It all really depends on my mood for the day. But I think the perception that I ‘put it on’ every day is probably not true.”

In Gaga’s mind, “putting it on” is subject to interpretation. “Don’t you think that what’s on the cover of a magazine is quite artificial?” she asks. “There’s this idea that it’s all natural, but everything’s been staged to look natural. It is also an invention. It’s just that my inventions are different. I often get asked about my artifice, but isn’t fashion based on the idea that we can create a fantasy?”

One could suppose that her little monsters might be disappointed, though, if she started wearing jeans and T-shirts. “I try to not focus on what people expect from me,” she says. “I think what has been lovely about my relationship with the public is that they expect something unexpected from me.”

What is expected of Gaga is her love for fashion and her ability to use it, quite literally, as a performance enhancer. For all her love of couture — her custom Armani dresses, her epic love story with stylist and Mugler designer Nicola Formichetti, all those supermodular Versaces — “there’s this one pair of shoes I’ve had for years, and they cost like $25. I have such an emotional attachment to the shoes that every time I see them, I can hear the fans and feel the bass coming through the bottom of the stage.”

Sometimes, of course, shoes are the most substantial part of a Gaga outfit; her body image is as fearless as her fashion. “I’m very free-spirited,” she says, like a Swede in a spa. “Even when I was a kid, I used to run around naked with the babysitter, driving her crazy.” She attributes her body confidence to dancing, and “I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy. You know, my work sort of feeds me. I keep in shape by working hard.”

Even when she’s not touring, Gaga works “about 16 to 20 hours a day. And when I’m alone, I write, I imagine, I create things, and I decide how I want to do my future performances. I don’t take much time off.”

And due to her crushing travel schedule, Gaga spends a lot of time on her own. “When you’re alone as much as I am,” she observes, “you become accustomed to your solitude and embrace it.” Of late, she’s been immersing herself in plays. “I love John Patrick Shanley. And I’ve been reading some books that I loved when I was in theater school, like Bertolt Brecht. Those books really changed my life.”

Gaga has also taken up surfing, which she tried for the first time on a princely two-day vacation to Mexico in August. “I fell off a lot in the beginning,” she says, “but one of the surfers said to me, ‘Now that you can stand up, just look into the future and enjoy the ride.’ I thought that was an interesting metaphor about life.”

Gaga tweeted a picture of herself to her 13 million followers, writing, “Yeah, that’s me. No heels, baby.” She was a natural.

I actually thought this was a photo of Gaga saying she feels ugly and that this is what she sees when she looks in the mirror, but then I found out that that's the photographer. Lol.

2011-09-12T16:16:00.000-07:00

Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball show in New York’s Madison Square Garden has won a Primetime Emmy Award. The concert special, which aired on HBO earlier this year, took home the Emmy for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Special (editors: Mike Polito, Bill DeRonde, Kevin O’Dea and Katie Hetland).

And Gaga is already planning a new tour and will be back on the road next year. “The Monster Ball kind of lives on through the new show,” she said of the upcoming worldwide tour in support of Born This Way. “We just do sort of evolving variations on this theme, sort of beautiful idea of all of the fan getting together, which is what the Monster Ball is all about.”

The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on Sunday, September 18th at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Lady Gaga is set to attend the award ceremony.

Lady Gaga shoots for a magazine in New York City!

2011-09-12T16:09:00.000-07:00

It’s no secret she can be a bit clumsy at times, and Lady Gaga took a tumble (she was sitting down, though...) during a Vanity Fair photoshoot in New York City today (September 12).

The “Born This Way” singer was decked out in some unusual garb as she posed atop huge platforms and lost her balance - which caused her to fall to the ground at the Central Park locale.

Luckily, the 25-year-old singer looked unharmed and was quickly helped back up to her feet to proceed forth with the rest of the session.

The efforts come in wake of yesterday being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, of which Gaga told press, “I watched the towers fall from the roof of my school, holding all my best friends. I don’t know … just, my affinity and my love and the relationship I have with New York City — it’s like the husband I never married.”

Lady Gaga Covers 944 Magazine January 2010 Issue

2011-06-04T15:07:00.000-07:00

The fabulous Lady Gaga covers the January 2010 issue of 944 Magazine.

The international pop star looks absolutely stuuning in a white lace dress designed by her very ownHaus of Gaga design team. For those of you who don't know, Lady Gaga actually has her very own fashion design team. Her team of designers are able to capture Gaga's innovative concepts and turn them into some of the most bizzare, yet breat taking piece.

Here are a couple of quotes from the 944 Magazine interview from Editor in Chief Martine Bury:

"Lady Gaga has liberated music and fashion the way David Bowie and
other Brit Glam rockers did in the seventies--using costume, artifice
and drama while bending gender norms and conventions. But she also one
ups everyone with her phenomenal vocal talent and truly unique
aesthetic. Her music choices are far from predictable-- they're a
mash up of futuristic pop styles. What a breath of fresh air!

"For our Vanguard issue she was the only choice for the cover--the
most fitting artist of our time. She's way ahead of her time and the
only universal artist to truly break ground and provoke thought since
Madonna."

If you're a real fashion addict, you are watching Lady Gaga closely and appreciating her taste in fashion.

For you viewing pleasure, here are a few photos from the 944 magazine shoot:

Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside MTV Special

Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside MTV Special

In a candid, one-hour MTV interview special, "Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside," the pop superstar steps away from her larger-than-life stage persona to discuss a painful and difficult road to stardom.In a surprising admission, Lady Gaga credits Beyonce for inspiring her at one of her lowest points, and re-igniting the fire within to succeed.

Before gaining worldwide success and fame, Lady Gaga was known to the world as Stefani Germanotta. The singer reflects on one of her most embarrassing memories as a teenager, when a group of boys dumped her in a garbage can outside a New York City pizzeria.

"They picked me up and then threw me in a trash can on the street," she says, remembering vividly how painful it was to "hold back the tears".

At a time when she lost faith in her dreams of stardom after being dropped from her first record label, Gaga confesses that she was able to regain the inspiration to become a star in pop sensation, Beyonce.

"I've never told Beyonce this," but I remember laying on my grandmother's couch crying and a Destiny's Child video came on, and I remember watching Beyonce and thinking, 'she's a star- I want that. I want to be on MTV,' and now I'm in music videos with Beyonce."

Looks like those horns are spreading... Now Lady Gaga has horned shoulders

2011-04-20T19:31:00.000-07:00

Two months ago, Lady Gaga baffled many when she appeared to 'growing' horns on her face.

And now it appears the bizarre facial feature may be spreading after she showed off her pointed shoulderblades in her latest online video.

In her latest Gagavision video on YouTube, the 25-year-old singer reclines in the bath as she talks about her bizarre philosophy.

Other worldly: Lady Gaga sports a pair of horns growing out of her shoulderblades in her latest Gagavision online video

Half-fantasy/half-reality: Lady Gaga tries to explains her life's philosophy as she lies in a bath

She says in the video: 'Born This Way is who I am. An artist in a constant state of half-fantasy/half-reality at all times.'

When asked what is the most personal thing she's ever told her fans, aka 'little monsters', she explained: 'The greatest challenge in writing Born This Way is I had to become confident and secure in myself.

'I had to leave my insecurity behind me….Whatever residual scars behind. I spent two years delving deep into my wounds…the blood transfusion.'

Animal instinct: Gaga claimed that all her fans have the potential to grow their own horns

She then turns her attention to her latest single Judas, of which she said: 'Judas leaked a slow death,' so she decided to release it earlier than planned.

Although she appeared to be 'sprouting' horns in her recent Harper's Bazaar magazine shoot, their recent appearance in her Gagavision video suggests they have been 'growing'.

In the Harper's interview, she insisted her horns were real, not prosthetics as is widely believed.

Now you see them, now you don't: Gaga's horns were missing as she sat at a dressing room table

She said: 'They’re not prosthetics. They’re my bones.

'They’ve always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am. They come out when I’m inspired.

In the interview, she even suggested that her fans have the potential to grow these horn-like bones.

She continued: 'We all have these bones! They're the light from inside of us.'

Here’s what the 25-year-old pop star had to share:
On plastic surgery: “I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.”
On being an artist: “I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me.”

Lady Gaga offers behind the scenes tour footage and cryptic clues to her next single in first GagaVision film since 2009

2011-04-07T08:40:00.000-07:00

She's known for her flamboyant stage shows - but in a new edition of her YouTube show Lady Gaga offers an insight into life on the road.

GagaVision No 41, which was posted on the singer's YouTube page on Wednesday, features behind the scenes footage of her tour as she prepares for a show.

The five-minute clip is the first episode of the web series - which Gaga made regular episodes of when she was promoting her debut album The Fame - since 2009.

Scroll down for video

Tiring stuff: Gaga tells her make-up artist she has just spent six hours promoting her single Born This Way

Joking around: The singer suggested a more 'timeless' image such as wearing a black suit or just 'being nude'

In it, the singer - real name Stefani Germanotta - reveals that she has been doing promotion for her single Born This Way for six hours straight before she gets ready to head off for a show.

She is also seen trying on stage outfits as well as having her make-up done - and pondering whether or not a more 'classic' look might be better.

'Maybe we should be more timeless and just wear a classic black suit,' she jokes with tour staff, 'or just always be nude.'

Off to the show: Gaga dons a pair of her trademark sunglasses as the camera follows her to the concert venue

However Gaga almost meets her match when she arrives at the concert venue and is confronted by a homophobic protestor.

The man gives her a business card which reads 'get out of hell free' and denounces her for what her refers to as her 'pervert ways'

Afterwards, the singer hits back by saying, 'There's 3000 people standing in my line - there's nobody in his line. Who's going to hell?'

Unusual gift: Gaga is given a 'get out of hell' free business card by a protestor outside the venue

She also comments on his business card once she is in her dressing room.

'If it's so easy to get out of hell, why don't we just print up a bunch of these guys?' Gaga suggests, while adding, 'It makes me sad that my fans have to see that, but I know it's just part of what I do.'

In the dressing room: Gaga, filming herself with a portable video, has plenty to say on the subject of the business card

More footage: The singer admits it saddens her that her fans have to see protestors such as the one outside the venue

Other scenes see Gaga looking thrilled at being given a Google branded T-shirt backstage, and also offering the cryptic message to fans, 'If you have revolutionary potential, then you have a moral imperative to make the world a better place'.

The film ends with a sneak preview of rehearsals for the video for her next single Judas, which she reveals will be released on April 19.

'Judas is coming,' the star says. 'Let the cultural baptism begin.'

Cryptic: At the end of the five minute film Gaga delivers this odd message to her fans before revealing details of ehr new single Judas
