Flawlessly Fast Fashion

One of the things that amaze me about the current fashion industry is the sheer speed in which spectacular looks can be designed, made and put out onto the red carpet.

   A prime example of this is the gown that Lady Gaga wore on the red carpet for the VMAs 2013. This exact gown was designed, made and fitted within the very 48 hours before the event. The word pressure doesn't quite describe it considering this would be Gaga’s first red carpet appearance since Born This Way.

  The genius behind it? Prabal Gurung. A self-confessed Gaga fan himself, I can’t imagine the excitement/anxieties he experienced within those 48 hours before.  “I think she is one of the most important artists of our time, I love her music and what she stands for. She is one of the most vocal celebrities on gay rights.”

   This look was definitely more toned down than the infamous meat-dress she wore to the 2010 VMAs, but was well suited to the natural Gaga look that we have seen a lot of recently. Personally, I am really into seeing Gaga stripped back like this. The long brown hair, swept to one side, looks so elegant in my opinion with this perfectly balanced asymmetric gown.

   With New York Fashion Week fast approaching, tensions are certain to be running high at the fashion label but it must be relief for them to know that Gaga’s gown went down a success. Also, it is very likely that this dress is a nod to the kind of looks that will be sent down Gurung’s runway in New York next week.
