Lady Gaga opens her Barneys New York workshop in Chanel Haute Couture

By now, you might have heard that Lady Gaga took over New York City earlier this week to launch a small, err, venture in conjunction with Barneys New York. You see, Gaga is a veritable product-generating machine, and from hair bows (and we mean that literally) to custom NARS lipcolor, there are apparently a lot of things we could all own to make our own lives a little more Gagafied. Surprisingly for Barneys, many of the things in Gaga’s Workshop seem to be more-or-less reasonably priced.

In order to introduce all of us to these products, Gaga showed up to Barneys in an enormous Chanel Haute Couture suit-cum-ball-gown, made especially for her by Karl Lagerfeld’s best minions. Err, couturiers. I meant couturiers. But doesn’t Karl Lagerfeld just seem like the type of dude to have minions? I mean that in a non-negative way, of course. I’d love to have a minion. Anyway, check out Gaga’s crazypants outfit in the gallery.

I liked the concept of the dress but not the dress itself. I’m probably the only one. With that bein said, I like the direction that Lady Gaga is going. She is finally appearing stylish instead of just costume-y.
Loved the bag.

Like the bag, I think it’s a little tame for Gaga. I wish it wasn’t based so much off of the Chanel suit. Pairing it with the Marie Antoinette ballgown look is coming off a little strange- like, dowdy strange. Definitely not Gaga.
