An Italian designer for the stars, Antonio Berardi, has turned down Lady GaGa.
The Milan designer, who counts among his clients Victoria Beckham, Megan Fox, Amber Rose, Eva Mendes and Gwyneth Paltrow, declined an offer from GaGa to collaborate.
“I was approached to design a clothing range with Lady GaGa but I knocked it back because I wasn’t interested in someone whose music is meaningless,” Berardi said.
GaGa is a performance artist whose musical career is soaring. Songs she has released such as Paparazzi have rocketed up the charts. Her penchant for outlandish costumes, including those with high-voltage shock value, has drawn mixed reactions.
Berardi, who was in Sydney, said: “Her music is meaningless now so what impact will it have in 20 years?”
The Sicilian-born designer of heel-less latex boots worn by Beckham was in Australia for the first Peroni Young Designer Awards, held in conjunction with Harpers Bazaar at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
