Last night Lady Gaga was on hand in NYC to cut the ribbon of her highly anticipated Gaga’s Workshop at Barneys. Sadly, we missed Gaga’s giant-scissors-wielding entrance, but she clearly owned that custom-designed-by-Karl-Lagerfeld Chanel hoop-skirted ball gown. After a quick sweep through the crowd (and a kiss for a lucky Bryanboy, who was wearing an Read more →
Karl Lagerfeld is dressing Lady Gaga tonight for the opening of Gaga’s Workshop at Barneys New York. Here’s Karl’s sketch of the dress–it’s white tweed with black trim and accessorized with Chanel pearls, camelias and bows.

In case you didn’t get enough of Lady Gaga over the last few days with all the coverage of her enormous three dimensional Paco Rabanne outfits at the MTV Europe Music Awards, don’t despair. There’s lots more Lady Gaga news today.
First up, that fragrance of hers. You know–the one that supposedly will smell like “blood and semen”? Well, it reportedly has a name now, though WWD couldn’t confirm it with Coty Beauty, who’s producing the scent.

Gaga was shot by Inez & Vindoodh and styled by Nicola Formichetti for the front and back covers of the latest Visionaire, the LARGER THAN LIFE issue, which just happens to break the Guinness World Record for largest magazine ever–twice. The “standard” issue is just a regular old 3 X 4 feet, but the deluxe edition, of which there are only 250 available, is 5 x 7 feet. It’s not even life-size; it’s actually larger than a person.
