Gaga teams up with Steven Klein for new video
Lady Gaga wants Steven Klein to direct her new music video.
The ‘Telephone’ singer is keen to team up with the fashion photographer – who has snapped a huge number of stars including Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – on her next song ‘Alejandro’, her third single from her ‘Fame Monster’ album.
Gaga is famed for her outrageous outfits and controversial routines and videos, while Klein became a star for his raw and sexual realism.
For her latest video, the 23-year-old hitmaker asked to look like a prisoner.
The eccentric star teamed up with designers Viktor and Rolf for ‘Telephone’ – her duet with Beyonce Knowles – as she wanted them to create her a bespoke costume, which was inspired by spending time behind bars.
As a result, in some scenes in the video Gaga wears a dark grey leopard jersey jumpsuit with a studded bodice decorated with metal chains.
The US fashion house said: “Lady Gaga asked us to design a prisoner’s outfit. This is how we imagined Gaga if she was incarcerated. She inspired us and her bodysuit was included in our brand new ‘glamour factory’ collection. It is styled with a huge pile of exaggerated metal chain necklaces.”
