Lady Gaga's Meat Dress Drew Controversy

The first time I saw Lady Gaga on 2010 VMA, I knew right then that there will be controversy after the show. And I am not surprised that it was indeed controversial.  The "meat dress" was designed by the Franz Fernandez and it is made from what appeared to be slabs of raw meat.

Although many people are trying to protest, Gaga stands by her fashion. On her interview with Ellen, she mentioned:"It's certainly no disrespect to anyone that's vegan or vegetarian," Gaga responded. "As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. It has many interpretations, but for me this evening, it's 'If we don't stand up for what we believe in, we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones.'"

Well, what more can I say? "Gaga will always be Gaga!".

Madonna's Daughter, The New Fashion Designer?

Yes, it's her Majesty's daughter Lola who is just 13 years old is now very visible in Fashion World because she is now one of the hundreds of designers. Lola is set to launch her career as a fashion designer at such a young age and is very ready to a showdown with other designers. Or is she that ready?

Lola's line is called Material Girls and is focused for teens and will be released on August 3 at Macy's.
Critics do have something to say, but I think it's good to wait and see the designs.

Will you buy Material Girls clothing?

Manolo Blahnik Tortoise Campari Mary Jane

By his own admission, Manolo Blahnik's design concept incorporates "good solid looks that will wear forever" along with the avant garde. This could well describe the ethos of the Manolo Blahnik Tortoise Campari Mary Jane, a shoe that features a pointed toe and a buttoned restraining strap over the instep. An elegantly shaped 3.5 inch covered heel provides the finishing touch to this charming creation. The shoe is manufactured from tortoise patent leather, set off by a tonal grosgrain trim to bring out the sheer elegance of this classically styled shoe. Anyone, who aims to purchase this style of shoe needs to ensure they order a half size larger than their normal shoe size as these Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes feature notoriously small sizing
.
Manolo Blahnik, who has recently been awarded the CBE, [Commander of the British Empire] is possibly one of the world's best kept secrets in the world of shoe fashion. He works totally alone, designing every single pair of shoes he has been producing since he set up in business early in the 1970s. Blahnik maintains no staff, and works completely by himself, fulfilling every function necessary for the production of the finished product - from making the wooden last to designing the subsequent advertising criteria.

One famous celebrity, Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame, is one well-known aficionado of Manolo Blahnik shoes possibly going a long way in helping promote the identity of this renowned shoe designer and his absolutely fabulous range of very expensive and stunningly striking shoes. Blahnik shoes cover an extensive range in fashion, from vertiginous heels that make walking practically impossible to sleek little numbers ideal for celebrities to sashay along the red carpets at impressive premières and elegant mules that have since become one of the classics in his collections.

Designers at WAR?

International couture famous designers Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Viktor & Rolf are emphasising their expertise in fashion shows and ad campaigns. That can only be viewed as a strike against the flourishing industry of celebrity clothing lines.It is quite inevitable for people in fashion industry not to collide with creating great designs for todays fashion.

Designers have previously expressed their disapproval of collections designed by the likes of Kate Moss, Madonna, or Lindsay Lohan. Zuhair Murad told Relaxnews earlier this year that "people should stick to what they know," and, talking to The Independent, Hussein Chalayan even called celebrity clothing lines "insulting to us because it’s like saying – and I don’t mean this personally – ‘I can sell more clothes off my name, off my brand, than you can, even though you’re a better designer.’
