Special Fashion Item up for Auction: Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Jumpsuit

Fashion has always been and important factor in music and for international pop star Lady Gaga this is no exception. Her fashion choices have always been very extravagant. To make a statement or not, it certainly gets people talking. The flesh-coloured bodysuit was an excellent example of that. For all Lady Gaga fans and fashionistas out there we have a unique piece up for auction: the jumpsuit Lady Gaga wore in a live performance video for "Bad Romance". Read on to find out how special this jumpsuit really is and why you should have it as a fan of music or fashion or both.


Designer Jumpsuit
As said before, the jumpsuit was worn by Lady Gaga herself and is actually a designer piece. It was created by Australian fashion designer Martin Grant. Lady Gaga often wears his creations and during a live performance of her hit song "Bad Romance", she chose this orange creation.

Martin Grant started his career when he was only sixteen years old. He was quickly recognised by the Australian fashion industry as a new fashion creator talent. Four years later he was even named Cointreau Young Designer of the Year. No wonder why Lady Gaga picked his designs for her award shows and video clips. Most of his creations worn by her have never been put on the market, making this jumpsuit even more unique. Thus, this jumpsuit is a unique opportunity.


Bad Romance
The jumpsuit played a prominent role in the video clip that has been watched by millions all over the world on Youtube and TV. The video clip came out during Thanksgiving in 2011. The jumpsuit's premiere, however, was during the catwalk show of fashion designer Alexander McQueen in 2009. Leariean Gibson was given the task to choreograph the video clip in order to make the song into a huge success. He had already done the choreography for some of Lady Gaga's other hits, "Lovegame" and "Paparazzi", so he knew what he was doing.


In the video clip, Gaga sings her hit song live on TV and turns on a great dance performance. She eats some cake in the clip, and pieces fall onto the jumpsuit. The jumpsuit was probably never washed because the stains are still present! It also means that the jumpsuit is authentic. The jumpsuit is expected to be worth around €5,000.
