I could see Lady Gaga rocking these with a pair of white panties, sheer white stockings, huge sunglasses, and stripper heels. And possibly a teacup.

thats fab but i could make something similar. get a off-white tweed jacket, customise with a huge brooch, add some chains from a habadashery store and voila!

I think it’s too much clothing for Lady GaGa.

love it, love it, love it. I’m not sure where I’d wear it, but hell – I can’t afford it, so I don’t have to worry!

Ha ha! I’d be wrestling my Great Aunt Peg for this beauty, fierce display of classiness that it is. “You can’t wear it, auntie,” I’d say, “it’s got motorbike chains down the front and on the cuffs, see!”
The way she wields her canes though…..she’d probably be more deserving of a Hell’s Angel inspired cardigan than I am.
I’m going to guess that Victoria Beckham will get her hands on it first. To my eye, it looks more her style – covered up and classeh as she now is. Plus, the price: unless Gaga is underwritten by the best part of MoMA’s annual budget, I don’t think she could readily afford that just yet.

It reminds me of Aretha Franklin’s infamous hat. I think a 60+ yr old city-dweller with gorgeous white or grey hair would look wicked fierce in this. Personally, it looks too rigid for anyone younger.
