Lady Gaga Tour

Lady Gaga lands internship with hat designer Philip Treacy

Looks like Lady Gaga has found a new haven where she could put all that talent and passion for high fashion – or should we say, quirky and head-turning head dresses – to good use. We just learned that the queen monster has landed a new job with hat designer to the stars and British royalty Philip Treacy as his new (and to date, probably the most famous) apprentice.

We know that this is a partnership made in couture heaven. Treacy’s works include Sarah Jessica Parker’s conspicuous feather head dress she donned for the premiere of ‘Sex and the City’ in London three years ago, and of course, who could forget Princess Beatrice’s scene stealing hat she had for the royal wedding of Will and Kate, that could’ve been the highest fashion talking point of the occasion if Kate hadn’t worn that stunning Alexander McQueen wedding gown.

Speaking to Us Weekly, the British hat designer is looking forward to training the ‘Born this Way’ singer, “She plans to [do an internship with me]. She’s already visited me,” Treacy said. And the designer has already had a taste of what to expect once Gaga’s internship begins. “This is what happened: One Monday morning, four burly bodyguards arrived — Lady Gaga’s security team — to check out the security of the building. I looked at them as if to say, ‘What?! Who is going to take a pot shot at Lady Gaga?’ Anyway, she is young, talented and peculiar — which I like.” Needless to say, Treacy’s atelier will be flocked by a hoard of watchful eyes with cameras while his own pair of watchful eyes teaches the chart topping diva a thing or two on how to make hats that could have the whole world talking, you could sell it on eBay for more than a hundred grand and donate it to charity (Princess Beatrice’s infamous head dress was auctioned off on eBay and was sold for £81,101 or US$131,650. The proceeds went to UNICEF and Children in Crisis charities.).
