Lady Gaga To Premiere Film At Paris Fashion Week

Lady Gaga is already the talk of Paris Fashion Week, and for once, it's not because of something crazy she's worn.


Next Wednesday (Sept. 28), at designer Thierry Mugler's runway show, the Mother Monster will debut a short film featuring a remixed version of one of her songs. Little is known about the top-secret clip -- directed by Dutch photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the team behind Gaga's latest 'You and I' video -- but a teaser photo of a clapperboard indicates it was shot last Tuesday (Sept. 20).


Mugler creative director and Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti also worked on the film, which hits the Internet the day after its Parisian premiere.


In other Gaga news, the all-powerful pop goddess is reportedly at work on her next album, which her manager, Troy Carter, would like to give away for free.


While little is known about what the Haus of Gaga have up their sleeve for this latest film, the clapper board does reveal some hints. The date on the board is 09.20.2011, perhaps a hint as to when Gaga, Formichetti, and Inez and Vinoodh shot the video.


This isn't the first time Gaga and Mugler have collaborated in this way. Besides the fact that Formichetti is her stylist, she's also given fans brand-new music at his shows. In January, she debuted a remix of her Born This Way track "Scheiße" at a Mugler fashion show. Then in March, Gaga not only walked in a Mugler show, she also debuted her song "Government Hooker" during the same show.


Experts agree that the Mugler/Gaga relationship is one of the best in the business. "Gaga working with people like Nicola Formichetti has allowed designers like him and like the late Alexander McQueen to step out of the world of high fashion, which is often perceived of as elite, and become part of the mainstream music landscape as she's used high fashion to build her own personal musical narrative," MTV Buzzworthy blog editor Tamar Anitai said.


MTV Style blog editor Mary H.K. Choi calls their work together "a pop culture moment. ... I think we can all agree that Lady Gaga's relationship with Nicola Formichetti has been entirely synergistic," she said. "When she walked the Mugler runway in Paris last season, not only did she model with aplomb, but her debut of 'Government Hooker' galvanized the show as a pop culture moment. The clothing was beautiful, granted, very much the sexy, bombastic Mugler aesthetic of the '80s and early '90s, but the confluence of Gaga, her music and Formichetti — all streamed live on Facebook — made the collection a must-see event."
