Hopefully Electricpig’s roving reporters will hunt down the creations the Haus of Gaga has been hard at work on but in the mean time we’ve got some words from the wacky woman herself.
Lady Gaga says: “I am so proud to announce my new partnership with Polaroid as the creative director and inventor of speciality projects…the Haus of Gaga has been developing prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation…” – good to see she’s kept her remit nice and manageable – “…blending the iconic history of Polaroid and instant film with the digital era.”
Lady Gaga last leant her name to the Lady Gaga Monster Beats headphones. Hopefully her Polaroid creations will be a little more exciting. In the meantime, learn more about her with our review of Lady Gaga: The Fame Monster then head over to this story on the Impossible Project for news of how Polaroid instant film spirit is being kept alive.
