National Hairball Awareness Day (we didn’t know about this either) is coming up on April 27 and the pet product company FURminator has decided to raise awareness with this, for lack of a better word, creative hairball sculpture contest. Blogger Laura Bennett created this Lady Gaga contender, reminding us about the beauty can be found in eating a bunch of hair and hacking it back up.

We’ve got the Friday night special in the form of leather mistress Zana Bayne. Self-taught in the craft, she has the kind of design eye that brings the kink to this side of chic. She has harnessed the power of Lady Gaga and Prabal Gurung in the form of videos and ongoing collaborations. She’s powerful. This kickass Brooklynite applied her study of conceptual art to leather and the body, and one of the main thoughts it has me pondering (aside from historical connotations of leather in S&M, objectification of the human body, feminist ideals, etcetera) is how late is Patricia Field open? I might just pick one up tonight.

Nicola Formichetti brought in reinforcement from his bestie Lady Gaga for his sophmore Mugler show at Paris Fashion Week. Gaga has been on a short film fiasco lately, ever since she teamed up with fashion photographers Inez and Vinoodh, who created her “You And I” music video. In a smoky room at the Mugler Spring 2012 show in Paris, entered the Mother Monster’s close-up on a large screen with gapped teeth and the infamous floor-sweeping ponytails from her Mugler runway debut.

It was the meeting of pop royalty when Lady Gaga took in Britney Spears‘ Femme Fatale show in New Jersey’s Hotlantic City this weekend. The crowd went bananas when Spears opened the show announcing, “I have a very special guest tonight…Lady Gaga is here!” Gaga stood, waved, and threw out a heart symbol. Britney promptly hearted her back, birthing the next “high five” amongst tween girls and gays across the country. Mother Monster was later spotted double fisting drinks and hitting up the blackjack tables at the Borgata Resort, letting fans know that she too has the vice-succumbing potential of her popstar counterpart.

As we enter this month of Art and Architecture at FashionIndie, we must discuss further a young designer who has elevated the notion of couture. Iris van Herpen creates a synergy between the finest handiwork and the technologically advanced. For this collection shown in Paris as part of Haute Couture fashion week, Capriole, she worked with architect Isaie Bloch and MGX to create 3D prints which were then translated into textiles. What resulted is function that follows the most stunning form from which all else stems.
She also happened to intern with Alexander McQueen. Behold.

This dude in a baseball hat is either super drunk or is trying to cast some curse on the photographer. Possibly both. But who the hell is he? Look at the poster above his arm for a clue… could his curse be backfiring on him?

In a show that had Lady Gaga’s paw print cemented to the aesthetic, Nicola Formichetti insurrected Mugler with a visual feast. Gaga’s gave us a taste of her new single Government Hooker as she made her modeling debut, working her monstrous platforms better than many professional models worked their curvaceous heels. On the live stream (or the luckiest, in Paris) we watched the show in its entirety, with Gaga’s new song interspersed with a hopped up version of Born This Way. Now we can watch it in the concise manner the Creative Director envisioned it. Gagalicious video ahead.
