Lady Gaga's Stylist Brandon Maxwell Is Launching a Clothing Line at NYFW Spring 2016

Description

Brandon Maxwell, Lady Gaga's most recent stylist and fashion director, is getting ready to launch his first-ever collection. Now, before visions of rotting meat dresses pop into your head, let's clarify: The man in question is the one who's been working with her as she's transformed from a boundary-pushing fashion hellion into someone who rocks classic glamour like an old-school pro (the meat credit goes to Nicola Formichetti). Maxwell will show a range at New York Fashion Week this September that focuses on evening wear, including clean suiting and formal gowns, reports WWD. One of his most glam Gaga moments? The Alaïa gown and gloves he helped her pick for this year's Oscars. Texas-native Maxwell was also responsible for the sophisticated-yet-retro looks Gaga wore on her Cheek to Cheek tour with Tony Bennett, including the embellished black gown below. Work for the tour started with 200 to 300 dresses that were whittled down to about 150 by the time rehearsals started. "We look at the women who came before her, but Gaga is such a visionary and so unique that if you start to heavily reference things, it doesn't work. She's her own person and ultimately comes to that decision
