Lady Gaga in 944 Magazine’s “Vanguard Issue” January 2010 issue — as shot by Max Abadian.

“ICON OF THE NEXT GENERATION?”

That’s what the January 2010 issue of 944 Magazine is saying about pop phenom, Lady Gaga. That is quite a title for Gaga as she’s fairly new to the scene as both the budding music superstar and fearless fashionista. Whether or not she lives up to such a claim [so soon at this point] we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m still loving her right now. She photographs beautifully and this editorial shoot is no different. The lace, the hair, the makeup = flawless.

“Lady Gaga has liberated music and fashion the way David Bowie and other Brit Glam rockers did in the seventies – using costume, artifice and drama while bending gender norms and conventions. But she also one ups everyone with her phenomenal vocal talent and truly unique aesthetic,” — says 944 editor Martine Bury.

Lady Gaga on the cover of ELLE Magazine

Lady Gaga is something fierce! I j’adore her. She is undoubtedly the Madonna of our generation. The eccentric pop singer lands her first major fashion magazine cover on the January issue of ELLE Magazine. Her editorial spread came out fantastic, as usual! She’s definitely a ‘monster’ in front of the lens. Keep reading below for snippets from her interview –

On bodily reactions to stress: “I get all the symptoms of a pregnant woman. I get headaches, I get tired, I get blurred vision sometimes during a really intense session with [her creative team] the Haus.”

On a recurring theme in her work: “I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you’re not looking for it. I’m dying for you on domestic television—here’s what it looks like, so no one has to wonder.”

On being a former waitress: “I was really good at it. I always got big tips. I always wore heels to work! I told everybody stories, and for customers on dates, I kept it romantic. It’s kind of like performing.”

On using her sexuality: “My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn’t think the photos were commercial enough…The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.”

On her romantic future: “In eight to 10 years, I want to have babies for my Dad to hold, grandkids. And I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does. I would never leave my career for a man right now, and I would never follow a man around.”
