because I wanted to feel different, like a different person. And I’m more grown up now. So my style has changed, but not so much. I still transform from day to day, you know. In June, I went to see the Vegas Gaga Museum that has a lot of my costumes from over the years. It’s sort of a retrospective and I wore a tutu with a crop top and, today, I’m wearing a suit. And I think that’s daring, too. You know, there’s a lot of pressure in the world to look a certain way. We sort of run on the pull of aestheticism, at this point, with social media. And I think people try to keep up with that aesthetic all the time. And I’m not really into that. When I’m zigging, I like to zag later. Is it important for you to empower young or new designers?
