I wanted to share this article by
Robin Givhan for the fans of Gaga.
'Armani, the unlikeliest designer to be jolted by Gaga juice, discovered her in the most mundane way: He saw her perform at the American Music Awards a little more than a year ago. “I was struck by her extraordinary talent for writing music and her mastery of her own voice,” the designer says.
