Lady Gaga

The Haus of Gaga made the creative team part of the artist's public identity. Nicola Formichetti's fashion direction, Sarah Tanno's make-up and Frederic Aspiras's hair work offer identifiable contributions to a visual language that extends beyond any one outfit. Their collaborations also changed over time, rather than forming an unbroken, fixed line-up. Start with the team's accounts of developing looks alongside Gaga's ideas: the interest is in how specialist skills turn an ambitious proposal into something a performer can inhabit.
