GOLD + GAGA



There's a first time for everything, and today marks the first time Lady Gaga has made an appearance on my blog - because for the first time her world has intersected with mine! To put it simply, I helped outfit her dancers for the performance of 'Judas' on Saturday Night Live. The challenge was 'gold leather' and durability for an intensive dance performance: it took five pots of leather paint, 576 gold studs, and some extra helping hands (for which I'm so so grateful), and every hour of missed sleep was made worth it once the dances came on stage...








You can watch the performance on hulu HERE (starts halfway through)

OMG those details! New follower and I'm loving everything on here!!

Luke said...

Congrats Zana! The use of colour with the gold and bright blue reminds me of Gareth Pugh's Pitti collection. The touches of religious influence seem very appropriate for Judas :)
