This year will definitely enter to the history as the Year of Gaga. I believe Lady Gaga has to pinch herself just about every day. Sometimes even twice a day. And honestly, who wouldn’t? She made sooo many dreams of hers come true in just one year. It’s just unbelievable. And we are so happy for her.

This week our queen meet the Queen Elizabeth II.

Tell me, doesn’t this sound like a fairytale?

Dressed in this Victorian style puff sleeved custom red latex couture gown by Atsuko Kudo.

I met Atsuko Kudo yesterday (huge pity it was only virtually because otherwise I would still be in the showroom trying all their fierce latex couture pieces) and I’m beyond happy I can share some very interesting details about the creation with you.

It took about 2 weeks from the sketches and until the red marvel was completely finished. During that time a team of 7 people was working on the dress, underskirts and Elizabethan ruff collar, including the head designer, Atsuko Kudo.

The dress combines fashion style elements of two most famous English queens in the history. The whole outfit is made from 100% supatex red latex rubber.

It’s fantastic seeing how Lady Gaga and Atsuko Kudo are taking the fabric out from the “dungeon” and into couture.

I asked how many meters of the latex were used to craft the piece.

Only the Elizabethan ruff on it’s own took a couple of meters of the red latex due to all of the folding and frills!

Then the train in total was around 12 metres.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!

This is not the first time our girl and Atsuko Kudo worked together.

“As we are lucky enough to have met her and made a number of latex pieces for her previously, we can report that she is fantastic to work with – very courteous, respectful and incredibly creative. She instinctively knows what’s right – it’s very exciting when you find someone who has those qualities. She wears the pieces in a way which absolutely carries the look to the max. She’s a total star. A perfect tonic for the very harsh times we’re living in”.

And for all of you guys who want to join in the couture latex revolution, make sure you check out Atsuko Kudo official site!

Always give the credit where it’s due. Here it goes to my boyfriend even though he’s not a Gaga fan (so far…). A couple of weeks ago I bought a fantastic pair of distressed black jeans sprinkled with Swarovski crystals that looks oh so fierce with my gunpowder sky-high heels with metallic platform. And last week I told him I’d love to pair these two jewels with some corset or something like latex lace top and showed him some pictures of corsets and tops, including a photo of Gaga during the Monster Party in Berlin in that black latex marvel she wore. But it was just an idea I shared with him like many others before.

Don’t know whether it was the word “corset”  or “latex” or what that made my boyfriend do the research but while watching US Open this Sunday and googleing at the same time he suddenly told me:  ”I think I found where your girlfriend (he ment Gaga…) goes shopping!”

Love Gaga’s latex outfits?

Don’t hesitate a sec and visit Atsuko Kudo a proud winner of The European Fetish Award for the Best Fetish Design 2008/2009. Browse all the categories. You’ll fall in love with their Couture Latex Design even if you’ve never ever used a piece of latex.

O.M.G. Don’t tell me you don’t want to at least try it!

You can also order the Leopart Print Semi Transparent Simon Basque Lady Gaga wore for Out Magazine editorial. Hmmm…

UPDATE:

Just wanted to publish this when I went back to Atsuko Kudo site to double-check one detail and look what I found. The belt Gaga wore as a part of her red carpet look is actually designed by Atsuko Kudo! They call it “Diana Lace Waspie” and you’ll be able to buy it on their official page, I found thanks to my better half, very soon. They kindly promised to keep me posted, so I’ll let you know the moment the piece is up on their webshop.
