Our favorite new video, “Alejandro,” is a veritable treasure chest of sartorial surprise, and one whose riches match any presentation at a Fashion Week runway show.  Lady Gaga draws from the creative minds of her designers and allows the clothes themselves to play a large role in the video’s concept. The fashion aims to draw in the viewer with aesthetic niceties and, once captive, shock them with their somewhat extreme and often androgynous presentation. And they certainly succeed, with notable additions by Emporio Armani, Agent Provocateur, Christian Louboutin, Calvin Klein, and a few choice pieces designed by the Lady herself under her “Haus of Gaga” line making a big impact.
