Lady Gaga says that her avant-garde ensembles are a way of coping with her "insanity". Last week, the star - who was in London to promote her new album, Artpop - stepped out in a string of looks that were deemed daring even by Gaga's high standards; featuring a shell-shaped parasol, towering feather headpieces, smudged white face paint and a false teeth mouthpiece, originally designed as a cuff.
"It's how I deal with my insanity," she said on The Graham Norton Show, which will air this Friday. "From when I was young I had voices in my head, and for the longest time I was drinking and doing a lot of drugs, and it was the clothing and the artistry that saved me. I get sheer joy out of creativity, it's like a psychedelic experience for me."
Her former collaborator Nicola Formichetti severed professional ties with the star earlier this year because of the "insane" and demanding nature of the role. The pair remain good friends, but she is now styled by Formichetti's ex-assistant, Brandon Maxwell.
"I'm too busy with [other commitments]," he told WWD back in July. "I've done two albums with her, it's been like five years, and you know, I'm always going to be involved somehow, but I cannot do it every day. She changes 12 times a day; it's insane."
