fashion// music// film


LADY GAGA






i thought this article was really interesting..lady gaga introducing fashion as a huge part of her image alongside her music, more so than any other artist....and then displayed as film an viewed by millions.
famously wearing gareth pugh and alexander mcqueen whilst performing she really has caused quite a stir in both the fashion and music industries.
i've selected parts of the article...

"Since the Bad Romance video was launched on YouTube on November 10th, it has been viewed more than 30 million times. To put that into perspective, Madonna’s curre
nt single, Celebration, has only been viewed 1 million times since it debuted on YouTube on October 14th.
In total, Lady Gaga’s videos have been viewed more than 500 million times on YouTube, the equivalent of almost 40 appearances on X-Factor, which attracted an estimated 13 million viewers yesterd
ay evening."

since this article, the youtube count for bad romance alone has eculated to just under 57million.

"It’s no wonder that Forbes Magazine recently declared that “Lady Gaga isn’t the music indu"stry’s new Madonna. She’s its new business model.” However, what th

e Forbes article failed to note is that Lady Gaga may very well be revolutionising the fashion business as well

."


"Ms. Gaga may now be the single most powerful editorial machine for fashio

n designers looking for mass exposure."


"Incidentally, th
ere’s one other brand that appears conspicuously in the fashion credits of Bad Romance. “The Haus of Gaga” is credite
d with several items from different scenes from the video. Could an eponymous Lady Gaga fashion label be the next phase in Ms. Gaga’s plans for gl
obal domination? Stay tuned."

well it could only be stings daughter really!
they look and even sound so similar.
the song is growing on me...but i really like how the video has been styled. rough, dark and tombyish.
makes a nice change.
check her myspace page by clicking on the title for the miike snow remix of the song...and watch out for the diplo remix too which is apparently in the pipeline.

soooo, this little gem of a photographer is "still in high school"
hmmm.
love the dreamy quality of the photographs, get the feeling that life is not to be taken too seriously...however, being 17 with this amazing website, blogs and being commissioned left right and center it all looks pretty serious to me!

Mind Trip

these stills of this film feature found on hint by no means do it justice.
hint magazine produce these amazing film pieces...as shown from one of my previous posts 'gaslight'.
I think the imagery is absolutely beautiful, and this one the voyeur is given an adition of be able to chose one of two songs to listen to whilst watching it. (i recommend the xx....favourite of mine).
the chilled music with the dreamy fashion images tumbling around- love it.
