Gaga says about the project: “My mother and I have initiated a passion project. We call it the Born This Way Foundation. Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.”

Masks

This hauntingly elegant black satin mask by NYC accessories designer Jade Chiu is just enough to make a statement on Halloween without a full-fledged costume.

Gaga gave details about the Mugler woman in a raspy whisper. In a nutshell, “don’t f*** with the Mugler woman”, she is quiet and strong, and she will eat you.”

The quiet, carnivorous Mugler models entered the runway in elegant designs that resembled paper cutouts from a Tim Burton film, with a more sophisticated touch than the Fall/Winter 2011 liquid latex S&M looks. The looks were actually wearable.

The slicked hair, lime green lips, glitter eyebrows, needle thin stilettos and asymmetric cut-out costumes in white, black and neutral tones with pops of color were designed for the futuristic sophisticate.

Formichetti took to Tumblr throughout the week to tease fans with tidbits of what to expect at the show. As usual, Gaga + Formichetti = captivating fashion theatrics, though we would have loved to see the Mugler muse werq her way down the runway again.

See the full show here.

She also happened to intern with Alexander McQueen. Behold.

He is none other than Rick Genest, aka Rico, aka Zombie Boy, aka the muse of Mugler’s and Gaga’s Nicola Formichetti.

As Formichetti told Hint, “I had his picture on my wall forever. I saw it one day on Google. I thought it was amazing Halloween make-up done by Peter Philips or something.”

We all know by now that that shit is permanent. Well, Formichetti went on to find Zombie Boy’s true identity and to find him on Facebook, and whisked him away to Paris (having paid his near 20 thousand dollar fines for sleeping in the street, and also having gotten him a passport in record time), to have him model in his debut men’s show.

Now that you’ve seen the before and after, which way do you prefer Rick Genest?

Link Love: The Cut

Sheer-bodied solid-armed pieces sauntered alongside pleather-cum-latex pants and trenches, surrounded by the sky-high shoulders of the eighties’ Thierry Mugler. The shoulders that Gaga helped to resurrect. As the looks turned to rubberized armor amongst a show where models became lively sirens, clutching at the wooden column archway, becoming little monster on the runway, the Mugler philosophy came to light: Entertainment.

We just stumbled upon GagaDaily, a blog devoted to tracking Lady Gaga’s every fashion move. Blog mistress Catherine recently posted recently about one of Gaga’s Tweets, in which she envisions herself arriving in New York in “leather, high heels and an attitude,” and voila, not long after she showed up at the airport in the outfit featured here. The singlet is from new London designer Void of Course, the shoes, called “Nude Night Makers,” are Noritaka Tatehana, plus she’s carrying a Hermes bag, customized by Haus of Gaga.
