Her style influence is in its infancy, but at the Boston show last week, there were packs of young women toying with Gaga-esque touches to their wardrobes such as high skirts and exaggerated eye makeup, and she’s already amassed the required gay following. Perhaps more of her influence could be seen earlier this month when Madonna arrived at the Costume Institute Gala in New York looking like a dominatrix dressed like a blue satin Easter bunny that was running away to join the circus. It was the kind of outfit only one other blonde — who also speaks in a measured, faux-British accent — could possibly pull off: Lady Gaga.
What will a clothing line from Lady Gaga look like? She’s been coy at giving specifics, but she would have a difficult time finding a market for disco ball bras and futuristic, butt-baring micro minis. More likely, she and the Haus of Gaga, her creative team that she is trying to model after Andy Warhol’s Factory, would produce slightly more marketable, but no less kooky ensembles based on some of the Lady’s key looks. Which means girls will possibly be wearing knock-offs of knock-offs as they practice speaking like a British robot wearing platinum wigs. Regardless of how she handles a clothing line, it will be anything but middle-of-the-road.
