I am far from being a music writer, but there is one musician that has caught my eye…or rather ear. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, more succinctly known as Lady Gaga. While her songs are on repeat on my iPOD, I am more fascinated by her fashion. How long has it been since we’ve had a musician recognized and respected not only by music but also the fashion world? Madonna for Jean-Paul Gaultier in 1993? Lady Gaga’s wardrobe selection look like the notorious Vogue closet with Balenciaga dresses, a brown Fendi bustier, Hussein Chalayan, and Martin Margiela to name a few. A moment ago, the magazine US Weekly placed Lady Gaga on their worst dressed list. I have a feeling someone as independent and artistic as her could care less. Would you want to be in the ranks with Octomom, reality show rabble, or post puberty Disney stars? Just as the lyrics to her hit Paparazzi sing “Don’t stop for anyone. We’re plastic, but we still have fun.”
