goo-goo for gaga

It could be said with good reason that Lady Gaga' stylist has one of the greatest jobs in the fashion industry, perhaps in the world.. Talk about a chance to give your creativity a whirl! Here you've got a girl who has previously gone out in London pants-less (on purpose AND sober) and performed on The Jay Leno Show in a thong leotard... with nude tights over the top of them... it was awkward for everyone. Believe it or not when Gaga offered famed-stylist Akerlund the job she said, "No thanks." Numerous times. Buuuut, she had good reason. She had just had twins! However, when the Lady asked Akerlund's husband to produce her new video for 'Paparazzi' the duo decided to team up for the challenge!

Ironically, Akerlund is Gaga's first real stylist. She has collaborated with fashion director Matthew Williams before working with clothes that she made for herself under the name 'Haus of Gaga'. 

"I feel like I have a lot of input because I come from the world of fashion. I don’t like to pull fashion; I like to make fashion. I feel like Gaga and I are alike in that respect. It doesn’t necessarily have to be about the new hot designers; it’s whatever we feel like doing at the moment. If that means pulling from old resources of designers we like or archives of things or whatever it is. It doesn’t matter as long as it feels right."
