Lady Gaga has no been stranger to, well, strange outfits. From cracked egg ensembles to completely see-through bodysuits, Gaga always makes a statement in her pieces - but now Mother Monster has taken it above and beyond with her "Born This Way" tour. Collaborating with Giorgio Armani for the Asian leg of her tour, the sartorially unique pair plans to use studs, PVC and latex (wtf?) to build each costume. Check out the press release below explaining all the crazy details that only Gaga herself could pull off. Note the mirrored nails and keyboard headpiece (again, wtf?!).
"The first design includes a black bodice made of tubular PVC elements
connected with metal studs, with mirrored metal inserts to define a
curvaceous design. The ensemble is highlighted by a matching
headpiece, robotic thigh-high boots, and exaggerated gloves ending in
mirrored nails.
Another look is created via a shiny black grid-patterned PVC bodice with matching headpiece and embroidered ankle boots. Highlights include shoulders outlined by a play of sharp spikes, black Swarovski jet crystals and flowing fringe, creating a moving architecture. On the third 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.
The final design is a long tunic with leg-o-mutton sleeves made of skin-toned latex. Luminous PVC elements create flashes of synthetic light inside the garment. The same avant garde lighting is featured on the triangle decorating the chest, on the headpiece, and on the platform of the matching latex ankle boots."
Think this is over the top or total Gaga? I think the pictures look extremely fierce and will no doubt compliment her insane tour.
