The saga of Lady Gaga vs Antonio Beradi has finally been cleared up.

On Monday we reported that Mr Beradi had apparently called the singers music “meaningless” and turned down working on a clothing line with her, and on Tuesday the mystery continued to deepen after some fashionistas pointed out that the singer was wearing one of the designers dresses in her Poker Face video.

However it was all cleared up yesterday when Berardi told Grazia: “Press coverage has appeared recently about comments I supposedly made about Lady Gaga. I have been seriously misquoted in these comments.

“I am always thrilled when anyone chooses to wear my clothes and I thought that Lady Gaga looked amazing in her video wearing my parachute dress.”

And although musically he claims to be “more of a Black Angels man,” he said he had “a huge amount of respect for Lady Gaga and everything she has achieved.”

Speaking of the rumoured collaboration, his reason to refuse was nothing more than conflicting work schedules between the pair. “Creating a fashion collection is a lot of work and I was unable to collaborate with Lady Gaga on a collection because of commitments to my own label and for no other reason. It amazes me that a mistaken quote can travel so quickly online, cause so much damage and be so utterly wrong.”
