LADA GAGA might be touring up a storm but somehow the workaholic found time to pen her first fashion column for V magazine. You know – it actually wasn’t awful. A little self-important, but not terrible and a little smarter than most celebrity news. In the column Gah likens herself to a fashion librarian saying she’s long studied glam art.
“I myself can look at almost any hemline, silhouette, beadwork or heel architecture and tell you very precisely who designed it first, what French painter they stole it from, how many designers reinvented it after them and what cultural and musical movement parented the birth, death and resurrection of that particular trend. Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession,” she writes, “and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.”
Gaga then fondly recounts her first apartment in New York City’s Lower East Side that had she owned “everything from vintage books and magazine I found at the Strand on 12th Street to my dad’s old Bowie posters to metal record from my best friend Lady Starlight to Aunt Merle’s hand-me-down emerald-green designer pumps were sprawled all over the floor.”
What do you think? Is Gaga a fashion icon or overrated?
