Lady Gaga's meat dress on display
It is a well-known fact that Lady Gaga makes sure to stand out as much as she can. With her eccentric clothes and bestselling albums, the singer tries to dazzle year after year. Upon thinking about her most “interesting” choices of clothing, the meat dress definitely stands out. Said dress has been preserved and presented once again to the public at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. There the dress which was worn by the famous singer at the MTV Video Music Awards in September was displayed along with her meet boots.
Hall of Fame chief curator Jim Henke presented the way in which the articles of clothing were kept for the MTV News: "It's going to be in a case and we are putting some canisters in there to control the humidity, and then we have this other canister that soaks up the glutens. But it's in a sealed case and we have the gels to control the environment in there."
The dress that travelled around the world was joined by the boots after the event and was sealed in a dry storage with a chemical preservation process. Henke declared they had worked together with a taxidermist in order to handle the articles correctly and set the ensemble on a dress form while it was still wet. The famous dress was created by designer Franc Fernandez and stylist Nicola Formichetti, and later worn by the singer when she accepted her video of the year award for the song „Bad Romance.”
Considering the fact the boots and dress had turned brown after the preservation process they needed a paint job to bring back their original tartare tones.
