DONATELLA

In an ode to her dear friend and fashion savior, Lady Gaga introduces this particular character with a story about how Donatella once opened the door to her brother Gianni's preserved library for the singer to explore. The "Donatella-approved" looks seen here are as much an homage to the designer as they are a testament to Gaga's personal and creative loyalty. Meanwhile, Marina Abramović's interview continues with Gaga's views on what she hopes her fans will glean from ARTPOP: 

"I want them to experience that self-love through creation and in the way that your art can give back to you. That’s ultimately what I care mostly about, our collaborations, and establishing a line...Intellectualism doesn’t also have to be elitist. You don’t have to have money or know people to be smart. I feel that in my heart."
