On this episode of Chewing on Pearls, NYC-based writer and artist Livia Caligor joins us to dissect how Gaga’s references to Alexander McQueen’s revolutionary work in The Art of Personal Chaos uncover the deeper meaning of the iconic, career-defining show. We discuss Gaga’s longstanding admiration for McQueen’s life and work, the artists’ iconic collaboration for “Bad Romance” and Plato’s Atlantis, and the numerous ways Gaga has paid homage to Lee’s legacy over the years.
