Lady Gaga to wear Giorgio Armani for Born This Way

I’m tempted to buy a ticket to Asia for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Asia tour, I haven’t visited Hong Kong for 2 years and I’m itching! Today Giorgio Armani announced that Lady Gaga will wear a selection of his custom-designed looks for the tour, which kicks off in Seoul on April 27th. The Asian tour will then move to Hong Kong (May 2-5th), Tokyo (May 10th), and Singapore (May 28th). The tour will culminate with performances in Australia and New Zealand.

The custom Giorgio Armani wardrobe created for Lady Gaga is characterized by extreme forms and futuristic materials – latex, metal, studs, PVC – crafted with couture savoir faire. Each outfit is completed with detailed, other-worldly accessories.

The look pictured above features a shiny black grid-patterned PVC bodice with matching headpiece and embroidered ankle boots. Highlights include shoulders outlined by a play of sharp spikes, black Swarovski jet crystals and flowing fringe, creating a moving architecture.

Looking good so far, can not wait to see the actual pieces. Soooo tempted to fly to Hong Kong, decisions!!

The first design includes a black bodice made of tubular PVC elements connected with metal studs, with mirrored metal inserts to define a curvaceous design. The ensemble is highlighted by a matching headpiece, robotic thigh-high boots Colombia Soccer Jersey, and exaggerated gloves ending in mirrored nails.

On the third black bodice, transparent Plexiglas, black crystals and luminous studs create a Cubist composition of abstract guitars. The matching headpiece follows in the shape of a keyboard; the boots are black vinyl.

The final design is a long tunic with leg-o-mutton sleeves made of skin-toned latex. Luminous PVC elements create flashes of synthetic light inside the garment. The same avant garde lighting is featured on the triangle decorating the chest, on the headpiece, and on the platform of the matching latex ankle boots.
