Aside
from her famous creativity in pop music, we all know Lady Gaga for her remarkable
theatrics and wild fashion sense; her Born This Way Ball Tour being an obvious example
of these characteristics.
In
April of this year, Giorgio Armani was announced as the artist’s costume
designer for her tour. He stated that:
"Collaborating with Lady Gaga is always an exciting
experience for me. I admire the way she uses fashion as a scenic element and as
a means to build a character."

The designer created diverse stage outfits for the
performer, including a long-sleeved, floor-length shift dress, as well as a black and
white hat shaped like a keyboard. The Armani team used PVC, metal studs, and
jet-black Swarovski crystals to create the outfits.

But,
watch out Armani! Lady Gaga is spreading her own rumors, and if proved to be
true, Versace will be designing the tour’s costumes for America.
On November 13, 2012 at 3:17am, the singer tweeted:
"THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is getting a face-lift for America. I heard rumors @VERSACE IS CUSTOM DESIGNING ALL THE CLOTHES AND NEW LOOKS."
Lady
Gaga’s passion for Versace clothes is no secret to anyone. She recently made
headlines wearing THE safety-pin dress which was originally made famous by
Elizabeth Hurley in 1994.

The singer has also become pals with Donatella Versace, the brand’s chief designer. This past September, during Paris Fashion Week, the two posed for photographer Terry Richardson – Gaga topless.

Versace’s
costume designs for Lady Gaga will surely be translated into stylish, bold and risqué
pieces that the brand has always been recognized for.
