FASHION CREDITS: âBORN THIS WAYâ BY NICK KNIGHT
Lady Gaga personally enlisted the incomparable Nick Knight to capture her essence for the album visuals of her third studio masterpiece, âBorn This Wayâ. In a stunning collaboration that melds Gaga's avant-garde vision with Knight's unparalleled photographic artistry, the album visuals promise to be nothing short of iconic.
The shoot, which took place in London, was styled by Nicola Formichetti in assistance of Tom Eerebout and Anna Trevelyan. Hair by Sam McKnight who used hair sculptures by Bob Recine, makeup by Val Garland and nails by Marian Newman. Prosthetic horns by Millennium FX.
A look I believe I donât have to introduce to you in detail is Gagaâs bespoke Mugler moulded black leather bodice which was âinspired by humanoids, alien sex humanoid hybrid womenâ...
...and thigh-high coated and cracked stretch leather platform boots made in collaboration with London-based designer Nasir Mazhar.
Of course we couldnât miss out on this statement piece. Here, she wears her bespoke Tom Tom Fashions 'Born This Way' hand-painted, oversized grey leather biker jacket and sleeveless vest, both customized with brushed gold-tone stud details.
Custom black leather Unicorn heelless platform ankle boots by Noritaka Tatehana completed the look.
The second sickening Mugler moment, head-to-toe again! Gagaâs black latex oversized biker jacket is from the Fall/Winter 2011Â âAnatomy of Changeâ menswear collection...
...which were paired with custom lattice platform boots with knife heels.
The provocative latex tuxedo with 3D breats, Gaga wore in these shot, was custom-made for her by London-based fetish-to-fashion label Void of Course!
For these shots, Gaga poses fiercely in a black leather and lace bra from Allure Lingerie matched with vintage Excelled black leather pants turned into shorts.
Her other bra, signed by French lingerie house Kiki de Montparnasse, is Ingenue in beige Leavers lace.
Here, Gaga is rocking a full denim look including a custom shirt by Perry Meek. I immediately recognized from the embroidery details on the back pockets that her Hercules cut-off shorts are by Leviâs.
Of course, the Pleaser Xtreme-1020 boots in black vinyl completed the look.
Talking of denim. The vintage Lee stone washed denim pants were purchased at the Beyond Retro store.If you belong to the vintage lovers community, this is a little paradise, so brooowse the site while you are there!
She also wore an Agent Provocateur strapless satin bustier top with sweetheart neckline.
Here, the Italian-American entertainer wears the heavy crystal Diamond Virgin dress with its matching bejeweled silk briefs, crystal headpiece draped around her body, and Ikarus winged crystal shoulder piece (worn as headpiece) by German clubwear designer and couturist Lorand Lajos.
In her hair, we can spot a vintage 1980s Butler & Wilson black, silver and red crystal snake brooch, which was once also worn by Princess Diana!
She also rocks a custom Rodrigo Otazu bejeweled face piece and heelless crystal-embellished platform boots from Dutch designer Jan Taminiauâs Fall/Winter 2010Â âReflectionsâ Haute Couture collection.
Next, Gaga is wearing a design by Austrian fashion designer Daniela Karlinger. The shape outfit, which comprises a strapless geometric dress and cape belong to Danielaâs 2009 âOrganic Shapeâ collection.
You should definitely check out the website of this young talent.
The bubble is actually a dress by Philips Design, made in collaboration with Studio XO, as part of their âSkin Probe Projectâ that examines the future integration of sensitive materials in the area of emotional sensing â the shift from âintelligentâ to âsensitiveâ products and technologies. The project explores skin, body and future integration of sensitive textiles in garments.
Bubelle, also known as âthe blushing dressâ, introduced to the world in September 2006, intended to convey âthe emotional state of the person wearing the garment through 18 separate miniature projectors located between the layers of the garment. A series of biometric sensors collect data such as heart rate, respiration and galvanic skin response, and this information is then interpreted and equated to certain moods and emotions, which in turn are visualized by altering the intensity, shape and colors of light generated by the projectorsâ.
A pair of Pleaserâs PVC & perspex Xtreme-801 platform mule sandals complete the look.
Another piece, I donât really have to introduce to you, is her custom Atsuko Kudo flesh-colored latex catsuit with contrasting black zippers all over.
The insane sculpturesque alien vessel-inspired shoes were custom-made for this shoot by German artist and sculptor Rein Vollenga using epoxy resin!
I was told by Rein Vollenga that the shoes were part of a full look, which included this bone structure epoxy breast plate with visible ribs!
The purple and orange slime outfit was created by Dutch artist Bart Hess who also collaborated with Gaga on the âBorn This Wayâ video.
Bart works in primitive and infinite ways. He works with his instinct and starts by using a material on the body, exploring volumes and ways of re-shaping the human silhouette. In fast speed, expelling all his creative energy.
He creates imagery that captures future human shapes and new body forms. Heâs discovering a low-tech prosthetic way for human enhancement.
Her extra large black perspex hat hails from Charlie Le Minduâs Spring/Summer 2011 âDetox Retox Botoxâ collection.
The black and gold patent leather platform pumps with gold metal heels belong to Alexander McQueenâs Fall/Winter 2007 âIn Memory of Elizabeth Howe, Salem, 1962âł collection.
