Who Designed the Outfit that Lady Gaga Wore on Her Album Cover?
The big question now is who really created this outfit? Was it Leeroy New? Was it Kermit Tesoro? Or was it a collaboration between the two designers?
read this earlier at divine lee's blog. it was a collaboration between kermit and leeroy
ReplyDeleteIts a legit collab. Both designers are credited. Tapos ang usapan. :D
ReplyDeleteNicola Formichetti, Haus of Gaga's fashion director, credited them both. So it was a collaboration.
ReplyDeleteYou can see it here:

Its a legit collab. Both designers are properly credited. Tapos ang usapan. Cleared by @jiritajackson and divine lee. :D
ReplyDeleteFP, i don't think this is an issue. collaboration nga o. very clear.
ReplyDeleteFP naman, trying hard ka na gumawa ng issue dito e. NEXT!
ReplyDeleteSINGLE cover po, not album cover ;) cos Marry The Night is a single from Born This Way album :D
ReplyDeleteCollaboration means working TOGETHER to create a single product/project. That particular piece was created solely by Leeroy New. Do you still call it a collaboration when Kermit Tesoro never contributed a thing in the production of the suit?
ReplyDeletetrue, go kuya leeroy! i just saw this, grabe way back 2011 ha. hihi
DeleteIf you guys go to Leeroy's facebook page, you'll see that he made this outfit by himself. I think the only thing Kermit made was the dress under the muscle dress for their "collab" at the Fashion Week. So in other words, this works should solely be credited to Leeroy.
ReplyDeleteHe even exhibited these:

It is Leeroy New's creation. During the fashion show where it was shown, only the dress underneathe and the shoes were Kermit's. Since the sculpted silicon armor was made by Leeroy, he should just be credited for it. I believe ang nagpadala eh ng items kay Lady Gaga eh sila Divine and the team behind Kermit kaya name nya lang ang lumalabas, nagpadala sila din ng shoes na gawa ni Kermit but on the cover Christian Louboutins ang ginamit na shoes at di yung kay Kermit. in short, yung kay Leeroy lang ang ginamit sa photo na yan at wala kay Kermit. Damay damay na lang sa credits, edge of glory si Kermit. Pak!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom stulebible' she’s wearing a rubber top designed by Kermit Tesoro and sculptor Leeroy New'
ReplyDeleteI think it should be - " a rubber top designed and made by leeroy new in collaboration with Kermit Tesoro"
Ahhh. So it's solely by Leeroy New? Ok! Akala ko kay Kermit. Now I know! :)

ReplyDeleteI want to bitch slap you now.
try asking kermit kung ano ginawa nya sa production and creation ng muscle suit and i doubt if may masasabi siya. paano naging collaboration yun kung wala man lang contribution yung tao doon sa piece - monetary, conceptual, even sa production?
ReplyDeletein fact, sa actual show, hindi nya man lang daw binigyan ng credit si leeroy.
Makapagdeliver naman kasi ng tweet si Divine Lee kahapon eh parang si Kermit lang may credit. It's her fault kaya nagkaroon ng issue. 'Wag ganun. Palusot pa kasi eh. Tsk. Anyway, it's all good now that the issue has been cleared. Good job, Kermit and Leeroy! :D
ReplyDeleteeven Leeroy's album of the muscle dress on his facebook shows that he was the only one who designed and made ithttps://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150363620739932.372025.610144931&type=3
ReplyDeleteyung shoes lang kay kermit tesoro as shown herehttp://strycatcher.multiply.com/photos/album/37/Attempts_at_Fashion_x_ArtSculpture#
whoever made it, should that be an issue?... NEXT sensible BI please!
ReplyDeleteIf Leeroy New took credit for the pieces solely done by Kermit Tesoro from their 2010 PFW collection simply because the show was termed a collaboration, would we be so forgiving? Would Kermit even allow it?
ReplyDeleteThis has happened before. Kermit Tesoro's failure to acknowledge Leeroy New as his collaborator or even as the designer of specific pieces from their PFW 2010 collection was very much evident from the single name(Kermit's) that was projected on the screen during the show! Can anybody say 'use me in a sentence!?'
ReplyDeleteGamitan!? Talent x Connection lol
ReplyDeleteSensitive tong issue na ito.Sa mga unang tweet ni Divine Lee si Kermit Tesoro lang talaga ang credited wala ang name ni Leeroy New..nung may nag question na magulo ang credit ng album saka lang ginamit ang salitang collaboration. Ang ingay ingay kasi ayan tuloy lumabas ang katotohanan.
ReplyDeleteCopy Kat
So porke't tinweet ni Divine Lee, ibig sabihin totoo na? Get your facts straight guys. If anyone asks Kermit exactly what he did sa paggawa nung suit, walang masasabi yang definite.
ReplyDeleteThis article by abs cbn clearly points to Kermit as the designer, at parang sabit lang si Leeroy, something Kermit doesn't even bother to clarify.
Sinasabi niya lang dapat bigyan din ng credit si Leeroy New when in fact, Leeroy deserves SOLE credit.

Nakakainis lang yung iba na porke nagcomment ka or expressed your opinion about this issue, talangka na agad tawag sa yo when you only want due credit to be given. Siempre si Leeroy quiet lang bec what kind of an artist toots his own horn di ba? Hay naku. Panira lang araw yung iba na di naiintindihan ito.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone known says so doesn't mean its true. Katawa "Nicola Formichetti, Haus of Gaga's fashion director, credited them both. So it was a collaboration." Its soooo easy to manipulate information to give to these people.

- But someone seems to be tooting his own horn unrightfully!
I'm a big fan of Leeroy New's work! In fact I've seen his fiberglass replica of that same top Gaga's wearing consigned at Pinto art gallery (in copper). There's another one in Artesan gallery (in metallic grey) in Singapore too I think. Funny how he's free to exhibit that same peice anywhere he pleases without feeling the need to include Kermit's name.
ReplyDeleteAt Anon 12:07 PM: I know right?!
ReplyDeleteIs he THAT big of a jerk that he can't come out and say that it was SOLELY Leeroy's work? Ginawa kasing big deal ni Divine and pinagkalat agad na it was all Kermit... Oh sorry Kermit in collaboration with Leeroy. *rolls eyes* Pinapanindigan pa nila yung "COLLABORATION". Kainez.
ReplyDeleteDami nyong issue... nakakaloka kayo
ReplyDelete- lady gaga
LOL
Leeroy speak up we want your opinion on this. Or they got the leash on you?
ReplyDeleteObviously, based from the GMA article, Leeroy New is already consulting lawyers. Let's just wait for it.
ReplyDeleteWe were actually talking about this one the other day. I saw Kermit's post last time at his facebook account posting a teaser photo for the video. nagulat lang ako why hes just crediting himself solely of the design. ...
ReplyDeleteand then when i checked Leeroy New's fb account. aun...post si kuya ng folder entitled "muscle dresses"
pak.
***ala na ung photo ng teaser. ahahaha
echuserang talaga si Kermit hahaha, charot!! :)
ReplyDeleteEh diba ginaya lang din ni Leeroy yang idea na yan sa isang Japanese Sculpture? What a shame for Leeroy asking VIVA to pay him dahil ginamit yung creation nya without asking him eh pano kaya kung sya yung idemanda nug Japanese Sculpture na ginayahan nya? Kekerihin kaya nya?
ReplyDeleteAs for Kermit yung collection nya rin ay gayang gaya sa isang Japanese Designer. Remember yung Drip dress ni Kermit?
Well leeroy is way much better.... Kermit is known for imitating other designers particularly the heelless shoes of gareth pugh! Ano ba binago nya? From cuts to form to silhouette? Gosh! And the fake heir Divine lee is all out on supporting him, wait! Stop! If you want to be called " fashion icon" miss lee, know your dictionary! Research ka ng fashion sa mundo!
