Applause applause APPLAUSE....
When Lady Gaga first broke out onto the music scene in 2008, I like everyone else rejoiced at the fact that an iconic strong female character who represented the underdog had come into the world with a larger than life BOOM. She has shocked us with her fashion, provoked us with her alter egos and made us dance like crazy to her music, teaching us the true meaning of P..p..p Poker face.
With her new single already exciting the masses it made me think, was all the hype worth it?! To be honest when first listening to her new single 'Applause' I was a tad bit disappointed but like all Gaga music, it is like a seed that is planted and grows into the most mammoth of trees. Now I have it on repeat and literally hear it everywhere, I'm even whipping my hair back and forth to it as I write this post.
So it comes as no surprise that the ever nonchalant V magazine have chosen Gaga as the face of their September issue and not only have they given her one, but four covers to fit all her alter egos over the ages.
We begin with Armani Gaga, who sports a Bowie-esque quiff adorned in a holographic print piece. "I see this girl as the first incarnation of me. Of Gaga. The Bowie superfan, playing with glitter and reflective materials, like doing a jigsaw puzzle." .
Then prances along the Saint Laurent Gaga. "This is the me I was most afraid to ever be again. The me I'd left behind. I'm wearing a custom Saint Laurent sequinned jacket from Hedi Slimane. Impossible to be sad!" Third comes Versace Gaga "This cover commences the newest transformation in my long love affair with Versace, Donatella opening the Gianni archives for me during the campaign for my album Born This Way was just the beginning of a dream that seems to never end. And today it's c-threw plastic, with my custom shoulder, Medusa pins, and a wrong blonde. Donatella approved." Last but not least there's Balenciaga Gaga "In this custom Balenciaga, I felt full passion, and fearless, like my hair and body were on fire," . The covers were shot by famed photographers Inez & Vinoodh.
Watch out for the premier of Gagas 'Applause' video, I'm sure we all will once again be left gobsmacked.
