Lady Gaga Reveals Her Fashion Inspirations

By AOL Music Editors Posted May 13th 2011 12:15AM

Sir Elton John sat down with fashion fanatic pal and V magazine columnist Lady Gaga to interview her about her fashion inspirations for a new V magazine article.

John, who recently named Mother Monster the godmother of his baby son Zachary, quizzed the shape-shifting, style-savvy singer about her favorite wardrobe items as she put posed for an avant garde photo shoot to accompany the editorial piece.

Gaga tells John, "I'm mostly inspired by shapes, and using the body to create iconography. Leather culture and high-street punk fashion. I would say perfecto jackets occupy most of my fashion thoughts."

Not surprisingly, the superstar claims that "there are no rules" when it comes to picking out her outrageous outfits and freaky fashions. The girl knows and loves the major designers, but also likes vintage and lesser known labels.

She explains her wardrobe selection for her runway show of a music video for 'Judas' saying, "We were laughing on the set of the 'Judas' video. We had 50 racks of couture and I wore leather, Motorhead panties made of a vintage T-shirt, custom from young designers who are my friends, my own creations, and archive Christian Lacroix from a museum."

Really? PLEASE go back to singing about losing your phone in the club...you were so much more fun then.

Go to youtube and watch the (official) music videos for Missing Persons "Words" or "Mental Hopscotch" and you will see Lady Gaga. Only her name is Dale Bozzio. Missing Persons was a New Wave band- popular in 1982. It frustrates me that Lady Gaga doesn't fess up to the fact she blatantly copies Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons. Or that NO ONE in the media has caught it yet.

She got her fashion style in clown school!

Maybe she can sing... MAYBE
But the rest is trash! Her music is lame.

The musical IQ of this country has bottomed out with acts like her selling big. People have no taste for real talent and good music today.

I'd rather listen to Bob Dylan for a week straight than listen to her whole cd one time through - and I really don't like Dylan at all!

This woman should be banned in the US, we don't need our children being influenced by some half naked crazy nut. I thought KISS was bad, this is the most pathetic creature I have ever seen.

Gaga should not go out in public without ten pounds of makeup and clothing covering her face. Without it she is fn ugly, and what's with that schnoz?

Fashion inspiration courtesy of Goodwill, maybe?

Dr. Seuss, RuPaul, and Hannibal Lector are her fashion inspirations.
Nice meat suit, what a hag.

I wonder what her inspiration of choice is, alcohol or drugs - maybe both. There is nothing fashionable to about this woman.
