Zandra Rhodes Wants Lady Gaga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Zandra Rhodes would love to dress Lady Gaga.
The British designer, who famously designed clothes for Britain’s late Princess Diana and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, wants the challenge of working with the “Alejandro” singer because she thinks the results would be “extraordinary.”
“I just love how she puts her own take on things - I could make her a transparent kaftan and she’d look fabulous. One could do something quite extraordinary with her,” said Zandra, who is known for her eccentric dress sense.
The 69-year-old fashionista - who has recently been in San Francisco creating outfits for the female stars of Aida at the Houston Grand Opera - says if she ever got the opportunity to work with Lady Gaga, she would want to get her into her studio: “If she did ever want me to design her something, I’d do what I did with Freddie Mercury and Queen - I’d just get her to come over and she could pick out the sort of thing she fancied and I’d work with that. It’s all about seeing how something moves. She could try a few pieces on and we could go from there.”
