Off-the-wall singer Lady Gaga will soon be making her own wacky outfits as she signs up to a summer fashion internship. The ‘Poker Face’ pop star, who is known for her weird and wonderful dress sense as much as her catchy dance tunes, will be taken under the wing of Irish hat designer Phillip Treacy.

Treacy, who is commonly believed to be one of the best headwear makers of the 20th century, has promised to teach the American songstress everything he knows. The fashion designer is well already acquainted with Gaga’s unique style, having made several headpieces for her in the past, including a velvet telephone and a silver lightning bolt.

Lady Gaga is known throughout the fashion world as a woman not afraid to experiment. Never seen out in public in anything but the most immaculate outfits, the 24 year old artist is a fan of heavy, cheek-sweeping eye make-up and bone-crushingly tight Lycra togs. She also claims that fashion is the muse behind many of her songs and performances.

Miss Gaga admits that she goes for the ‘extreme’ rather than the ‘sexy’ on stage, with masks, fake blood and electronic moving outfits favoured above slinky dresses and mini-skirts. But who knows whether she will be successful enough in her new internship to wear some of her own creations on stage? If so, it will certainly be hats off to Lady Gaga.
