The Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen Connection

By Amber James Posted Feb 11th 2010 03:02PM

There's no question that Lady Gaga was a muse for fashion designer Alexander McQueen. His eccentric style meshed well with Gaga's fearless fashion sense. The pop singer even paid homage to the fashion icon in her catchy 'Bad Romance' video last year -- strutting around in a pair of McQueen's infamous lobster claw heels and runway designs. But with McQueen's recent death, will it change the face and allure of Gaga's outrageous fashion?

Lady Gaga officially unveiled her 'Bad Romance' single at Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2010 runway show during Paris Fashion Week. Although Gaga wasn't in attendance, her presence was certainly felt as her hit song streamed over the speakers during the encore of all the looks that McQueen had showed off. The show generated so much interest that it crashed ShowStudio's servers.

Following the fashion show, the duo teamed up and debuted a lot of his runway looks in her 'Bad Romance' music video. Wearing McQueen from head to toe, Gaga brought high fashion to an industry run by pop princesses. Everything from her opening number gold jacket and razor glasses to the 10-inch skeleton inspired pumps and the now-famous Armadillo heels were all McQueen originals.

The 'Pokerface' singer has been nothing short of a walking McQueen ad, showing up to events and concerts dressed in his one-of-a-kind designs. In September, she accepted the award for Best New Artist during the 2009 MTV VMAs dressed in a red lace see-through outfit designed by McQueen.

In recent months, McQueen's publicist even called Gaga "an unofficial muse." That's quite a compliment in the fashion world. And although McQueen's designs were out-of-the-box, Gaga rocked every eccentric look with confidence and style.

Lady Gaga is so talented! I Love all of her music, and the fact she is not afraid to express herself the way she wants too. Everyone is so critical of people. If one doesn't understand someone else, they automatically get a label. I think it is sad. Don't make fun of something just because you don't understand. Everyone has a reason why they do things. We are all different. I Love you Lady Gaga.. I think you are the Best!

I saw the photo of lady Gaga in red. I thought it was as simple as her or the designer envoking a sence of her being one of the red royals within any poker deck. I thought that was the theme brought to the fore'front by Gaga. The designer took Gaga's theme and made it his designe. I agree that she does have an ability for rocking such costumes.

To label Alexander McQueen as "eccentric" does not do justice to his genius as a fashion designer. Most are simply stylists "early adopters" of whatever trend is the next big thing. With McQueen (along with fellow Brits, Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano) it is different. His creativity stretched far beyond the realm of what is hip today and gone tomorrow. Just as he had in Isabella Blow and Bjork years before, in Lady Gaga, he found a muse and partner, someone willing to use her own body to display his artistic fantasies. Not only that, with his Savile Row training the man could cut and drape as well as any fashion designer on the planet.

Lady Gaga is as deep as a funeral. And I´m an open tomb she´s to fall in, as I´m head over heels with her. I hope she gets my autograph on "The Phoenix Stardom Of Snowwhite Lady Gaga Or My Secret Vault Relationship With Her" I have unleashed upon our fans and haters, impressing, intriguing, freaking out. Don´t thank me, thank Lady Gaga. Over a thousand copies sold in three weeks as an E book, the 36th volume of the Sixth Gospel.
