GAGA WALKS

Lady Gaga, Mugler Fall 2011

In one of the most anticipated shows of the season, Mugler's Fall 2011 collection didn't disappoint.  Complete with Rick Genest (Zombie Boy) and Lady Gaga walking some of the label's newest creations, this over-the-top cathedral staged show was outrageously fun.  The collection was filled with sleek silhouettes, but not the Jackie O type.  Sheer panels placed in the most unexpected places added the art and shock factor that we so often associate with the House of Mugler.  Courageous cutouts and insanely high heels, it is apparent why Gaga has become such an avid follower.  Feline references in the many of the looks, as well as in the mannerisms of the models, toward the latter part of the show added even more sex appeal.  One model nearly ate runway, but with a graceful hand placement beside her head, she recovered perfectly and blended well with the aura surrounding the show....madness and chaos.

At one point Gaga is seen leaning against one of the cathedral-like columns cigarette lit and creating a sultry ambiance for the models as they strutted through the elaborate stage.  It was her last look that has Gaga's ability to walk in sky-scraping platforms NOT in questions.  With at least a foot under the balls of her feet, Gaga closed the show like a pro.  Not sure that anyone but Gaga and perhaps Nicki Minaj would wear the final look's footwear, but it sure was entertaining to watch the blonde bombshell strut her stuff while sporting these space-age creations on her feet.

This collection and show was fantastically entertaining for starters, but the looks themselves were not second to the performance.  Although the looks weren't exactly for the everyday consumer, each piece was fun, fashion forward, and completely original.  The color palette was beautiful.  Every shade of neutral was represented and the pops of color were perfectly inserted.   A round of applause to the House of Mugler for a job well done, and good luck topping that performance next season.
