Weird fashion from around the world: Chocolate Fashion Show – Shanghai

By Andrea Petrou on December 19th, 2011

If you’re a gal who likes to stand out then mainstream trends may not be the way forward. If this is the case then why not take inspiration from Shanghai’s latest offering?

The Chocolate Fashion show, which took place this weekend bought us a range of kooky looks from Lady Gagaesque jewelled headpieces.

There was also a nod to the Chinese Terracotta army thanks to metallic knickers, crop tops and hats as well as big feathers.

Take note ladies….

Lady Gaga has an “inability” to find everlasting love

By Andrea Petrou on November 29th, 2011

Lady Gaga has an “inability” to find everlasting love.

The ‘Marry the Night’ singer has accepted that she may never tie the knot as she knows she can intimidate men with her creativity and has never felt truly loved.

She said: “I have never felt truly cherished by a lover. I have an inability to know what happiness feels like with a man. I think what it really is, is that I date creative people. And I think that’s what intimidates them is not my purse, it’s my mind.

“It starts out good. Then when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

“It’s a hideous place to be in when someone that you love has convinced you that you will never be good enough for anyone.”

The 25-year-old pop star says when she has broken up with previous boyfriends they often try to win her back by proposing, which never works.

She told Vanity Fair magazine: “How f***in’ romantic, you a**hole. Sure pop a ring on my finger and make it all better. I can buy myself a f***in’ ring!”

Gaga, 25 says the most important is being happy in a relationship and insists she would never stay with someone who treated her badly no matter how much she loved the guy.

She said: “When I fight with someone I’m in a relationship with, I think, What would my fans think if they knew this was happening? How would they feel about my work and about me as a female if they knew I was allowing this to go on? And then I get out [of the relationship].”

Lady Gaga likes her boyfriend to dress up as a vampire in the bedroom

By Andrea Petrou on October 20th, 2011

Lady Gaga likes her boyfriend to dress up as a vampire in the bedroom.

The You and I hitmaker gets “turned on” by the blood-sucking creatures and has a pair of fangs she makes ‘Vampire Diaries’ actor Taylor Kinney wear when the couple are getting down and dirty.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Gaga gets very turned on by vampires and loves being bitten by her partner. She likes to dress up and has a set of fangs which she’ll often get out in the bedroom.

“She calls herself the ‘Kinky Queen’ and has an entire wardrobe of sexy dress up clothes for her sex sessions.”

However, it’s likely Taylor had to wait some time before indulging in bedroom antics with the 25-year-old singer – real name Stefani Germanotta – as she has revealed she likes to make her boyfriends wait for sex and would never “put out” too soon.

Gaga recently said: “It’s always been important to me, as it’s for my generation, a most relevant consideration when you’re growing up. Sex doesn’t mean nothing; sex means so much.

“I hope that young women know that sex is still a big deal, and they don’t have to put out soon. If they want someone to court them for a while before they give it up, that’s wonderful and beautiful, and a man will only respect you more for honouring your body. I am that way.”

Fashion meets technology: LED light dresses as seen on Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rihanna

By Andrea Petrou on October 4th, 2011

Although we love the latest trends over here at ShinyStyle, sometimes we like to cast our minds a little bit further afield. And today is one of those days.

After seeing X Factor’s Kitty wearing an LED light leotard during bootcamp we began to think about how this technology has firmly wormed its way into the fashion world.

Most of this can be blamed on Katy Perry who kicked started this look way back in 2009 when she wore a purple frock complete with LED light detailing from designers Cute Circuit. She has since been spotted in a range of these at events ranging from premieres to the MET Gala.

And her style choice has filtered down to other celebrities. Queen of quirk Lady Gaga opted for an LED light outfit for her tour, while Katy’s BFF Rihanna took a leaf out of her style book and was spotted in a black and red LED frock during her concert.
And its not just the celebrity world that’s gone mad over this trend with the likes of Atton Conrad and Hussein Chalayan also opting for this look for part of their catwalk collections.
Will you be wearing this style? View the gallery and let us know by leaving your comments below.

A bit of a fashion happening yesterday on the streets of New York as two icons met for a fashion shoot: Annie Leibowitz photographing Mother Monster Lady Gaga herself.

We haven’t seen the final results of the shoot yesterday but we do have these amazing paparazzi snaps taken at the high-fashion shoot which show Gaga standing regally on the streets of New York in haute couture, coyly hiding her body with a giant black feather hat and throwing her head back to show off her couture eye-candy headwear. We have to say, it does look really fun posing for Annie Leibowitz.

You definitely know you’re a superstar when you’ve posed for Mama Leibowitz, who’s taken some of the most famous celebrity portraits in the world. A pregnant Demi Moore? Shot by Leibowitz. John Lennon curled serene naked around Yoko on the floor? Yep, shot by Leibowitz. Miley Cyrus posing coyly wearing nothing but a sheet? Yup, that was shot by Leibowitz.

We can’t wait to see the final outcome of this photoshoot. We reckon this is going to be a celebrity portrait to remember.

The most powerful women in fashion, according to Forbes: Beyonce, Diane Von Fustenberg and more

By emilyborrett on August 25th, 2011

Diane Von Furstenberg came in 91st in the Top 100 Power List

Forbes have just released their 2011 top 100 list of the most powerful people in the world, and we were totally excited to see some of our favourite sartorialists had made the cut – and so many girls! GIRL POWER! It makes me want to put on a Union Jack dress and do lots of high kicks like Ginger Spice.

We were really happy to see that both Beyonce and Lady Gaga had made it into the top 20 on the Power List, which they must be feeling pretty damn good about right now. Lady Gaga literally just missed making it into the top 10 as she came in at 11th place, while Beyonce was came in at a more-than-respectable 18th place.

One of our favourite women designers, the right honourable Diane Von Fursternberg ranked in 91st place. To me it seems that she should have scored a little higher for designing the wrap dress alone, but then again this is only out of 100 people in the world so it’s still a big honour.

The eco-warrior Angelina Jolie was unsurprisingly nearer the top end of the list in 29th, but what else do you expect from one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood? Her and Brad also came into the Forbes top 10 Rich Couple List, too.

The scary and iconic Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue, was also on the list in 69th place but isn’t sure if she likes the label of being a “powerful woman”. Anna said: “I don’t think of myself as a powerful person,” she said. “You know, what does it mean? It means you get a better seat in a restaurant or tickets to a screening or whatever it may be. But it is a wonderful opportunity to be able to help others, and for that I’m extremely grateful. I assure you all the people that work with me on a day-to-day basis don’t think that. That’s just something that’s been fabricated by the media. And as you well know once something is out there, particularly in today’s world, it just gets exaggerated. I keep my head down and do the job to the best of my ability.” And you never make anyone carry you up the stairs when you’re tired, no sir. No sirrreeee, yep.

Lady Gaga is teaming up with her sister for a new fashion line

By emilyborrett on August 25th, 2011

Get ready for the fashion world to be filled with all things Gaga, as the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs singer is teaming up with her younger sister Natali Germanotta for a new fashion line.

Natali has been studying fashion design at the esteemed Parsons The New School of Design in New York, so she’s got all the right style credentials to help her sister with a new clothing range. But if you’re expecting lobster hats, coke cans in the hair and dresses made of meat then think again, as apparently the collection will be “relatively normal and wearable” in comparison to Gaga’s regular taste in attire.

A source spoke out about the planned project: “Gaga came up with the idea of remodelling the styles of classic icons from the past, for example Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn. Natali loved the idea and she’s coming up with a slew of design options but, of course, everything will have their own iconic twist on it.”

It looks like the collection will be released through the singer’s own Haus of Gaga label, but who knows? Watch this space.

Lady Gaga turns her hand to designing limited edition gifts for Barneys

By emilyborrett on August 16th, 2011

We desperately want to get a flight to New York this Christmas, because we’ve just heard that Lady Gaga is collaborating with her BFF Nicola Formichetti to design a range of limited edition gifts for Barney’s department store.

The seasonal campaign, titled “Gaga’s Workshop”, will be taking over the fifth floor men’s department in November, turning the area into Gaga’s very own bizarre Christmas wonderland.

The gifts that will be on sale include sweets, toys, candles, cosmetics and jewellery made entirely out of rock candy, as well as Gaga-curated books and CDs. Barney’s chief exec, Mark Lee, spoke out about the new collaboration: “Holiday is about joy, sharing and inclusiveness, and to me, Gaga really represents all of that. Her platform is so much about positivity, individuality and universality in a very today way.”

He continued, “There are a lot of things for fans of all ages, for kids and kids at heart. I think our existing and new customers will find fun things to share and give as gifts in a lighthearted and not so serious way.”

We actually cannot wait to see what Lady Gaga’s take on the holiday season will be. Get us to NYC in time for Christmas!

An “emotionally thin” Lady Gaga wears her heart on her sleeve for her art

By emilyborrett on August 10th, 2011

Our favourite bonkers hitmaker, Lady Gaga, has described herself as “emotionally thin” – for anyone as bemused as we are by that phrase, it just means vulnerable, but Gaga doesn’t like that word as it implies that she just cries all the time.

When asked in an interview what she’s come to learn about herself recently, she replied: “I learned that to be a great artist, you must be emotionally very thin. Your tears and anger and your happiness must be just under the surface of your first layer of skin. I like to say ‘emotionally thin’ because it’s much more dramatic. Vulnerable to me implies only tears.”

We really like a celebrity that we can relate to, and that isn’t afraid to wear her (mental and technicoloured) heart on her sleeve. Take care, Gaga. We love you!

Lady Gaga promises her new book of portraits will show you everything – including photos of her showering

By emilyborrett on August 3rd, 2011

Lady Gaga's new book of portraits promises to show the star in a light that you haven't seen her before

We all know that Lady Gaga isn’t exactly shy and retiring but her new book of black-and-white portraits, shot by infamous fashion photographer Terry Richardson, will show her fans everything from her brushing her teeth to showering and weeing into cups. Blimey.

Gaga, the loveable eccentric, spoke about the ten-month period she spent with Richardson whilst shooting portraits from the book. “Terry was with me for [almost] a whole year, and, gosh, I didn’t hold anything back from Terry … he was with me every minute, every moment. It’s completely unfiltered. He has photographs of me waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, the shower. And the thing about Terry, if you know anything about his photography, is that nothing is staged; I mean, that’s sort of what he is renowned for. He can get you to do things and he can capture things that no one can ever capture.”

Richardson is probably the best choice to photograph her doing stuff like this, as he has a reputation for getting his stars to completely lose their inhibitions in photoshootoften highly sexualised and explicit, his work has come under fire from critics before. We have to say that we’re intrigued to see these photos..

Get the look: Lady Gaga’s new ladylike style

By emilyborrett on August 2nd, 2011

Lady Gaga was spotted in NYC rocking the new season's 40s-inspired ladylike trend in a houndstooth skirt suit with matching accessories - we've never seen the singer look so demure

Picture 1 of 9
Picture 1 of 9

We were happily surprised to see this photograph of Madam Gaga’s take on Autumn/Winter’s 1940s-inspired ladylike trend (pictured above) – she’s been seen spotted out in NYC in a head-to-toe houndstooth Salvatore Ferragamo ensemble nipped in at the waist for a vintage feel. When the first lady of quirky fashion is all over a trend, you know it’s time to get in on the action.

Naturally we wouldn’t recommend you tackle the trend in quite the same way as Gaga, who unsurprisingly added a few of her bizarre fashion twists to make the look her own. She may be able to wear houndstooth sunglasses, but thats because she has minders to walk her everywhere – attempt that particular accessory and you will walk into a wall. The rest of it though is a solid look, and we’ve compiled a gallery of our favourite affordable ladylike pieces on the high street.

This trend is all  about the feminine silhouette and opulent fabrics such as silk and brocade – perfect for girls who have a good waist. Belted tweed blazers, silk pussybow blouses and ladylike costume jewellery are an easy way to wear the trend and could be worn either in the day or the night.

What do you think of Gaga’s new look? Do you love it, or prefer her more risqué style? Let us know in the comments below, and check out the gallery above so that you can steal her style.
