Lady Gaga Meat Dress Designer Tells How To Re-Create His VMA Look

Franc Fernandez says Gaga thought the dress ‘smelled good.’ By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga at the VMAs on Sunday Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Did you watch Sunday night’s VMAs and wonder how you too can re-create the Franc Fernandez-designed Lady Gaga meat dress ? Well, wonder no more. MTV News caught up with the now-infamous designer and he very simply explained how one makes a dress made entirely of meat. “Go to your butcher, get some good cuts and start sewing,” he said about Gaga’s getup, which was her third look of VMA night. Before her fashions got meaty, the singer wore two gowns — one designed by the late Alexander McQueen and one by Giorgio Armani. However, those ultra-glam garbs were overshadowed by Fernandez’s over-the-top look. “I was approached by [fellow fashion stylist] Nicola Formichetti to create the look. It was planned over a week period,” Fernandez explained about how the dress came to fruition. “It’s always a pleasure working with Nicola and Gaga, the times I have. The process is very easy and quick.” While the process may have been “easy and quick,” Gaga did have to wear the dress for an extended period of time. “She wore it for as long as it was seen on TV, with some additional press photos and for the ‘Ellen’ show ,” he explained, adding that he wasn’t at all worried about the meat spoiling. “There’s been a big debate of whether it smelled or rotted under the lights,” he said. “Gaga herself said it smelled good, because it smelled like meat. I chose the right cuts to make sure the dress kept well.” What’s next for Fernandez, who also lent his talents to Gaga and Beyonc

AUSTRALIA: Pool visitors told to cover up for Ramadan

FAMILIES in Victoria are being ordered to cover up before attending a public event to avoid offending Muslims during next year's Ramadan. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has approved a ban on uncovered shoulders and thighs for a community event to be held at the Dandenong Oasis, a municipal pool. “Participants aged 10 and over must ensure their bodies are covered from waist to knee and the entire torso extending to the upper arms,” a request by Dandenong City Council and the YMCA states in an exemption application to the Equal Opportunities Act. “Participants must not wear transparent clothing.” The request has been approved by VCAT and applies to a family event to be held at the pool next August. “The applicant intends this to be an event where people of all races and religions and ages may attend, use the Centre's facilities and socialise together,” VCAT notes. “The holy month of Ramadan has a particular focus on families and the applicant wishes to encourage families to attend and socialise together with others. “The minimum dress requirements are set having regard to the sensitivities of Muslims who wish to participate in the event.” The ban on skimpy clothes will apply between 6.15 and 8.15pm on August 21 next year, a time when the pool is closed to the public and normally used by a Muslim women's swimming group. The ban was yesterday compared by the Human Rights Commissioner Helen Szoke to a ban on thongs in a pub. “Matters such as this are not easy to resolve and require a balance to be achieved between competing rights and obligations,” she said. “Dress codes are not uncommon: eg singlets, jeans, thongs etc in pubs/hotels.” Sherene Hassan, vice-president of the Islamic Society of Victoria, said she didn't support the dress restrictions. “My preference would be that no dress code is stipulated,” Ms Hassan said. But Liberty Victoria said the ban was reasonable because the event was to be held out of hours. A spokeswoman for the City of Greater Dandenong said the ban would help Muslims feel part of the community. added by: eden49

Lady Gaga’s VMA Fashion Was ‘Over-The-Top," Katy Perry Says

‘I love all that kind of symbolism that she had on her dress, and she made a statement,’ singer says of Gaga. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Audrey Kim Lady Gaga at the 2010 VMAs Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Several days after the VMAs, everyone is still talking about Lady Gaga’s somewhat glam, somewhat bizarre get-ups for the show. With experts pretty much loving Gaga’s Franc Fernandez meat dress , fellow pop star Katy Perry says that with someone like Gaga, it’s about more than just the design: It’s about what she’s trying to say with it. “I think costumes are just a natural extension. I don’t think you can just have the costumes and not have anything else. The costumes are the bells and whistles and bells and whistles can be really fun, but you have to have the spine, and I think that with Gaga, she’s got the spine and she’s got the costume,” Perry told MTV News. “So, it can coexist.” Perry is quick to point out that if you’re a pop artist trying to go over-the-top without saying anything, then you’re not doing it right. “With me, I have the spine and I have the costumes, so we can coexist,” she said. “Some people that are just like, ‘Look at me, I have something on my face or head’ — I don’t want to be specific because I don’t even know what I’m trying to say — they’re just not following through. I like all that theatrical stuff, but at the end of the day, I like to strip it all off and sit down with my guitar and write a song.” With all that in mind, Perry, who looked equally fab at the VMAs , says that she really loved one of Gaga’s VMA looks in particular. “I think her outfits are very Lady Gaga . It’s like so over-the-top,” she said. “I thought the Alexander McQueen outfit was stunning. I was like, “Oh my god!” I love all that kind of symbolism that she had on her dress, and she made a statement with all the people next to her. I like the statement she made.” Related Videos VMA 2010: Lady Gaga’s VMA Moments Related Photos VMA 2010: Lady Gaga Lookbook Related Artists Lady Gaga Katy Perry

Lady Gaga’s VMA Outfits: Fashion Week Attendees Weigh In

‘She is like a work of art!’ ‘Behind the Velvet Ropes’ hostess Lauren Ezersky says. By Christopher MacAllister Lady Gaga at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards Photo: WireImage NEW YORK — Even though Lady Gaga managed to cut down her costume changes from last year’s Video Music Awards to just three for the 2010 Video Music Awards , they still sparked the interest of many who turned up and tuned in. We asked the opinions some New York Fashion Week attendees which of the three costumes was their favorite. Lisa Liu perceived her arrival outfit , designed by Alexander McQueen, as “her tamest outfit of the evening. But I thought it looked very Lady Gaga.” Becky Boudwyn described her as “an out-of-control couture Pocahontas.” “Behind the Velvet Ropes” hostess Lauren Ezersky said, “She is like a work of art! When I look at her, it’s almost like looking at a painting by an old master. … When you look at her, you can’t just look once, there’s always something else to see! I love her first outfit, I just love it!” This dress was seen as the favorite by many, including Chris Futrell, who praised the fact that it was “very detailed oriented.” When we brought up outfit number two , people were not afraid to mention the fact that Gaga could barely walk in it. It was praised by Teasea and Duane Bennett as being “quite exquisite” and “very gothic,” but was disliked by fashion stylist Celine Griscom, who described it as “slightly dumpy … doesn’t have enough leanness to it,” and Ayoka Lucas, who said, “It’s not flattering to her body at all, unfortunately!” The third and final dress, the controversial meat dress , definitely left a bad taste in people’s mouths as reactions were unified in perceiving this dress as “something different and something you would not see at an awards show such as the VMAs” (Chris Futrell). Lauren Ezersky praised the dress, joking that “She’s cookin! In fact, she needs to cook! … I love the look of it, but I’m not quite sure if I would want to sit next to her! How would they bring that to her? Like, in a freezer!? I don’t know! I think it’s totally cool! You go, girl!” The speculation about whether or not it was real meat was not lost on Lisa Liu, who noticed that no one was “shy to hug her so I wasn’t sure if it was real meat.” Most people shared the opinion of Teasea Bennett, who said, “I think she was able to pull it off. I wasn’t too fond of that one, to be honest, but it suited her! I think it suited Gaga. She can pull anything off! Even a bag, a plain plastic bag, she’d rock that!” Lauren Ezersky summarized her opinion of Gaga’s fashion choices, saying, “She gives young people inspiration that it’s OK to be different, it’s OK to look the way you want to look.” And in relation to the recent passing of Alexander McQueen, the designer of the first two dresses, Ezersky pointed out, “It was a beautiful homage to him because we all really miss him in this industry. I got to meet him one time and he was an amazing artistic genius. … She will bring out the new Alexander McQueen. She’ll find them and wear them.” The Moonmen have all been handed out and the stars have gone home, but there’s plenty of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards news, interviews, behind-the-scenes scoop, party reports and more still to come, so keep it locked on MTVNews.com.

Lady Gaga’s VMA Meat Dress: Style Experts Weigh In!

‘Too bad she didn’t wear it with a grill,’ Nylon ‘s Faran Krentcil quips By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga at the 2010 VMAs Photo: Kevin Mazur/ Getty Images Lady Gaga wore several very interesting outfits to the VMAs on Sunday night. While she went glam in two creations (one by Alexander McQueen and one by Giorgio Armani), she was more grisly in her meat dress, shoes, bag and hat, designed by Franc Fernandez and put together by her frequent stylist, Nicola Formichetti. The look had the fashion world buzzing by Monday morning, spawning blog headlines such as, “Was it offensive or awesome?” “Too bad she didn’t wear it with a grill,” Nylon digital director Faran Krentcil told MTV News in an e-mail about the gutsy design that echoes the bikini Gaga wore on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan. Kelly Cutrone was all about the look. “I don’t get it what’s the beef with Gaga — Gaga is the Queen of the Universe, and no one should say anything negative about her or they will be attacked by her millions of fans,” the PR maven and star of “The City” told MTV News. “I am happy to see her looking so healthy and to see she put a little extra meat on!” Meanwhile, TV personality and “Telephone” co-star Jai Rodriguez commented that Gaga is creating a professional challenge for him. “Well, I am currently playing a character where the script says, ‘Take it a step further than Gaga would,’ ” he explained. “I’m no longer sure that’s possible after last night’s dinner frock.” Food was certainly on other fashion-minded folks’ minds. “It’s creepy and amazing at the same time, but I know what I won’t be eating today,” Fashion Critic wrote on RedCarpet-FashionAwards.com .

Project Runway Recap: Bridesmaids Revisited

For last year’s Project Runway bridal challenge , I called my recap “Brides’ Dress Revisited,” and I see no reason this pun can’t be re-spun and employed again. Congrats to laziness! While we didn’t bear witness to another of Gretchen’s Medusa explosions last night, we did watch as Ivy polished her fangs and hissed to everyone in a 15-mile radius that Michael C. called her a smelly jackass (or something else made up?). Let’s break down all the stupidity using our favorite instrument: Mean jokes.

Kim Kardashian Showing Off her Big Tits of the Day

I don’t think this is anything worth getting excited about. It’s got to the point of her fat tits actually being fat tits. You know like the pig woman you see out at the bar who like donuts a little too much that she can only fit in elastic waistband pants, who’s hormone levels are all fucked up, jacked with estrogen and thyroid issues that help maintain her obesity, but unfortunately that don’t help maintain any sex appeal, so the pig gets a low cut dress, a pair of spanx, and a push up bra to show off all the hardwork her lazy ass has put into binge eating and sitting on her pig ass….but for some reason, guys don’t care if a bitch is fat, they see tits and lose their minds, it’s like the belly, stretch marks and disgustingness disappear and I guess that’s why things worked out so well for Kardashian…here she is maintaining her fat chick with tits big enough for you to ignore she’s fat status…Trust me, the lace up the front of her dress is not for style, but for functionality, the second that shit’s untied, Roseanne Barr’s body jumps out and staggers to the all you can eat buffet installed in her basement….
