It’s no real secret that the fashion and music industries
are, now more than over, heavily dependent on one other. Take the recent slew
of bi-annual Fashion Weeks and look at their headlines; Katy Perry pissed
everyone off by being drastically late to Jeremy Scott’s Moschino debut,
Rihanna divided her time between a trolley dash in the aisles of the Chanel
supermarket and countless Instagram snaps with Olivier Rousteing and, finally,
Versace’s couture collection gained more column inches from Lady Gaga’s
appearance than any of the looks shown on the runway. The love between Gaga and
Donatella is clearly mutual; ever since Donatella loaned out archive pieces
from Gianni’s vaults to accompany Lady Gaga’s ‘”Edge of Glory” music video, the
friendship has resulted in the popstar fronting Versace’s latest campaign as
well as devoting a song on her ‘ARTPOP’ album to Donatella’s unattainable
wealth, sass and general brilliance. It seems natural that Gaga’s
recently-released G.U.Y video seems, via the use of a floor-length platinum
wig, a visual extension of the advertisement campaign and more like a fashion
film than any traditional music video. The Lady is known for her outfits; here
are five of the best.
