 FASHION CREDITS: LADY GAGA BY MARIANO VIVANCO

As promo material for her album “Born This Way”, Lady Gaga and photographer Mariano Vivanco teamed up for one of the singer’s wildest photoshoots, styled by Nicola Formichetti. 

Her amazing hair was done by Bob Recine, makeup by Billy B. and nails by Aya Fukuda, respectively. This shoot comprises 10 looks so let’s delve!

For the first look, Gagaloo went for a blue latex coat from Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 “Anatomy of Change” menswear collection. The coat features a button-down front and an oversized fit. 

Her green trousers are from Francesco Scognamiglio’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection (you might remember her rocking the black version of these in the “Alejandro” music video).

Custom white leather Noritaka Tahena Lady Vase boots and custom Bob Recine square-shaped hair sculpture completed the look.

The second look is quite similar. Gaga opted for the black version of the aforementioned Mugler latex coat. 

She teamed it up with black stockings, panties and a shoe headpiece by Bob Recine.

Custom black leather Unicorn heelless platform ankle boots by Noritaka Tatehana completed the look.

Next, Gaga wears a top and dress from Irina Shaposhnikova’s Fall/Winter 2009 “Crystallographica” MA Graduate collection, inspired by “the geological forms of crystals and minerals”. 

A collection, that “explores the geometrical and 3-dimensional approach to the female body and results new forms and shapes”.

Gaga’s filigree frames are by Mercura NYC. “The detailing are lattice work combined with tassels of brass and a gold gilt floral disc. The frames were originally designed and made in 1990 by Mercura NYC at the Hotel Chelsea”.

Here, Gaga poses fiercely in a clear vinyl jacket and matching suspender dress from the Gerlan Jeans Spring/Summer 2010 collection titled “By Any Jeans Necessary”.

Her 13″ (33 cm) high Void sandals, fusion of mahogany, vinyl & band saw blades, belong to the Stilett”O” series of sky-high heel sculptures by Houston-based artisan Omar Angel Perez. 

The series explores the interplay between women and their love-hate relationship with the stiletto heel: “As an expression of appreciation, I offer my gratitude to all women who endure the torture of wearing such heels. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed”.

There are no shortcuts in Omar’s fine woodworking, the sinuous curves and waves found in his work are hand carved using an untouched block of wood, metal grinder and meticulous hand sanding.

In these gorgeous shots the singer is posing in a pair of custom white silicone baggy trousers based on Mugler’s Fall/Winter 2011 menswear collection.

Gaga also wears a white hat handmade in lapin, with a chiffon veil created by Italian hat designer Federica Moretti.

Above an outtake from the same photo session. Gaga is wearing a customized white latex tuxedo shirt from the Void of Course Fall/Winter 2011 “Impossibility of Love” collection. Her latex shorts are by the London-based label as well.

In another outtake, Gagaloo is rocking a custom Alex Noble blue stone-wash trash denim jacket with puffed sleeves, fitted waist and flared peplum detail. Her acid-washed jeans are vintage.

The shoes are another sick Omar Angel Perez creation. Introducing to you: Cradle, once again made of mahogany, vinyl & band saw blades.

Love the whole latex theme in these shots! The Italian-American singer is rocking a tan full body catsuit with black zipper embellishments by Atsuko Kudo. This is the sister piece to her “Born This Way” video catsuit.

Finally, Gaga wore nothing but sexy underwear by famous lingerie label Agent Provocateur. 

The Fifi set in the color “natural” comprises a lace-trimmed bra and briefs with decorative bow.

In other photos we can see her rocking these Giuseppe Zanotti nude patent Monro peep-toe slingback pumps.
