More often than not, fashion editorials serve a purely aesthetic purpose. But sometimes they make a political statement, and that’s when we really pay attention.
We came across a Lior Nordman-lensed editorial for Israeli fashion magazine Belle Mode via Trendland last month. Nordman photographed female models in provocative twists on modest dress — one wears a see-through full-length skirt, another bears a b...
Because regular celebrities just don’t make the cut anymore, Gucci has signed on a full fledged European royal as the face of its newest brand ambassador.
People reports that Charlotte Casiraghi, a member of the royal house of Monaco, has been signed on as an international shill for the Italian luxury house. The choice makes sense — Casiraghi has beauty in her bones (her mother Princess Caroline was a...
CATE Blanchett insists she won’t be getting Botox anytime soon. The actress admits she’s scared of cosmetic procedures. “I’m not sitting on a soapbox telling women what they should and shouldn’t do,” she tells Fashion ETC. “I just know what works for me. I’d be too frightened about what it means long-term. “Looking at women [...]

Before she was Lady Gaga, Stefani Germannotta was just a 19-year-old waitress in the West Village. And that’s where she met photographer Malgorzata Saniewska, who shot Gaga’s first real photo shoot as a performer.
Saniewska shared the images from the 2005 shoot, which have never been seen before this week, with CNN. She says she didn’t know Gaga very well — Saniewska was a bartender in the restaurant where the singer worked as a teenager — but that she remembers her being “the nicest girl ever.” So when she offered Gaga the opportunity to sit in front of her camera, they packed everything up and headed to her parents’ uptown home, where the singer put on high heels and draped herself over the family’s baby grand piano.
“The house was empty, it was just the two of us,” Saniewska said. “I knew she was a singer, so our focus was her and her very first piano. We just hung out in her parents’ living room, and the piano was right by the window.”
The girl in the photos is a far cry from the costumed entertainment behemoth we know and love today, but it’s cool to take a look back at what she was like right before she made it big. You can see a few of our favorite photos from Saniewska’s shoot below, and you’ll find the entire set here on CNN.
There’s been no sign of Lady Gaga on the Grammy Awards red carpet, which perhaps worked out well for Nicki Minaj, who arrived in a red cloak by Versace with a fake pope on her arm.
E!’s Kelly Osbourne called it “the egg moment of the night”, alluding to Gaga’s vessel of choice for last year’s show. Perhaps Minaj’s ensemble (and entourage) will make sense in the context of her performance, but so far it just feels like a pointless press ploy — and we have no doubt it will ruffle some feathers. What do you think?
LADY GaGa used to suffer from bulimia. The ‘Alejandro’ hitmaker used to make herself sick after eating family meals because she wanted to lose her “voluptuous” curves and be a “skinny little ballerina” She said “I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I’m not that confident. I wanted to be [...]
