Pop stars and pop artists have always fed from and fed into the world of fashion. From the pages of Flare Magazine, Canada’s December 2009 issue, here is what Stefani Germanotta has to say about the topic of fashion.
“Fashion saved my life. It was complete liberation… it made me feel powerful, ambitious and much more resilient…We all need an image that screams, ‘I’m an individual!’ I think Jennifer Aniston is beautiful — she’s gorgeous — but I prefer to look interesting rather than pretty.”
Pop star Lady Gaga has not yet learned that true fashion can be both a couture statement of individualism as well as being elegantly functional and pretty.
There are classic fashion lines that were created in fashion’s golden history, by many great artists who went before. Similarly, in pop music’s cannon there are classic lines written into the songs we most love.
When Lady Gaga combines the knowledge of the two worlds, then her dream to create The Haus of Gaga will become more of a reality. At the moment her musical band holds that title on her The Monster Ball tour. Learning from and respecting other great artists other than oneself is the bridge of humble revelation that Germanotta needs to transition into the world of fashion design.
In the meantime Lady Gaga is off to an exceptional start, can write a good song with classic pop hooks, lyrics, melodies, dramatic flare in her verse. Her performance talent is strong. She’s looking very Twiggy and Liza Minnelli from Cabaret for Flare in the way her eyes have been styled.
Gaga has also borrowed from Britney Spears pop costuming library, with her rendition of a pink wig. The message she’s putting out there, “I am the new Britney, or crazy bazaar girl of American pop entertainment.”
