Fashion meets Technology

Do you believe Fashion and Technology can be with together? We have a lot of designers worldwide but not all can associate technology with fashion. Fashion is an incredible industry. It’s fierce, glamorous, sexy, outrageous and exciting. But it’s also incredibly complicated and the amount of change the other technology innovations will bring to this industry in the next decade will be mind boggling.


Runway inspired by TRON LEGACY
Sci-Fi movies has a lot to do with fashion nowadays. Runways inspired by illuminated styles, lines, etc. Movies are like fortune teller, fortune teller in a fashion way. Neon bags and shoes, 2D bags, and many more.

Fashion makes you feel. It is about emotion. You can't make designs or make clothes without emotion. But you need to be wise in it, you need to balance your money otherwise you'll lose your money. Be creative in making clothes remember the word recycle. 

Speaking of recycle here is some new dress that Lady Gaga wore at her appearance in Good Morning America. I have read this article posted by the ABC News. This thing is just like "WOAH!" When it comes to creativity and art about outfit it was her. I impressed first time I saw her wearing formal attire it's like 80's style and her hair so nice and she is gorgeous to her formal outfit. I really believe that this designer has something to deal with technology, like really a dress made out of paper that can not be tear and it is water proof also.This is a good thing that designers now also associate their fashion things in recycling 'cause we all know that our nature is now suffering from dilemmas so it is a good thing to know that at least some artists and designers have this mind to not only be a star but to commit a change.

"We found that there was a special strong paper that we really wanted to use that worked best for the ensemble. You actually can't rip this paper, which is why we chose it for her. It's so resistant to how much pressure can be put on it." quoting the said statement of the paper dress designer Mirano. A paper that can not be rip apart, what kind of paper was that?


"VOLANTIS"
From her meat dress, bubble dress, living dress and etc. Now the world was soon to be dominated by this dress called "VOLANTIS" the first flying dress ever in the history. Reading lots of article online and I saw this statement from Lady Gaga "Although she is a vehicle, she is a metaphor for me. I will be a vehicle today for their voices," she explained to the audience while comparing the dress to the creativity of youth." from news.com. Imagine that it is not only a vehicle that was made because it is like a metaphor to the youth. And there is another article that I read written by Tom Warren titled the article Lady Gaga's flying dress ready to take off. So he was describing what does the VOLANTIS looks like, and he also discussed in his article on how this flying dress being controlled and what it is composed of. And I heard that Lady Gaga is going to perform in 'space' this early 2015 and will give an extra-ordinary performance to her fans. 

"The vehicle looks like a giant AR.Drone helping to lift her above the stage. The dress was created by London fashion technology company Studio XO, the same firm that put together a digital mermaid bra for Azealia Banks earlier this year." , Mr.Tom Warren. Speaking of drone you can like imagine Robocop flying drones and destructive robots and Jimmy Neutron's Hover Craft flying around the Retroville.

TECHNOLOGY is the thing that makes our lives more easier, and it is also being a part of the modernization that is happening globally. When Fashion meets Technology it is like a big thing it gives a different kinds of excitement to the audience. Imagine maybe after 10 years we are going to fly through this dress, we are going to have clothes made out of paper. We are going to undergo a lot of big changes after this things happen. But do not abuse the resource that we have remember everything is limited in this world, we should remember on how to value things.

Lady Gaga "Who?"

"Destiny" this is one of the common word that we use when we are thinking about our future, you are asking yourself 'Who is the person destined for me?', 'What am I gonna be after 5 years?'. You can't even predict it, do you?, but you are the one who can write what will be in your destiny.

Have you ever wondered who really is Lady Gaga? Well this blog will help you, give you an idea, and will enlighten you who she really is.



March 28, 1986 a talent was born, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta grew up in New York, she learned piano at the age of 4, at the age of 14 she's composing her own music, writing songs about media what she knows. She dropped out of college because she followed her heart, she wants to make music, play music. You can read more about Lady Gaga  biography here.
"She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school on Manhattan's Upper East Side. She described her academic life in high school as "very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined" but also "a bit insecure": "I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn't fit in, and I felt like a freak."
To be honest I do feel like her when I was in High School. It's just like I have my own world they do not care about but I care about them so I changed myself and created a new persona.

The after scenario when she dropped out of college, she started a band named "Stefani Germanotta Band (SGBand)" The band played at The Bitter End and lately sold-out its first demo album Red and Blue with 5 tracks in it. Unfortunately when the band reached its career peak, the band disperse because the members of SGBand getting busier in their school stuffs, so in the mid-06 they split up and Stefani continued working in music industry.  
“I tried calling her once when she started blowing up,” Calvin Pia said, “but her number had changed.” 
The sad part is why Stefani changed her number without giving a notice to the band members, is it that she got busy in her career or she became a selfish punk? I do not know what the answer is but there are lots of thing just happened. Stay tuned to this blog to know why.

SG Band Members:

  • Keyboard/Vocalits - Stefani Germanotta
  • Guitar - Eli Silverman
  • Drums - Alex Beckham
  • Bass- Calvin Pia





The screen name Lady Gaga was actually originated from the from the Queen song "Radio Gaga". Rob Fusari (her music producer and become her ex-boyfriend) started to call Stefani as Gaga because she sounds like Freddie Mercury (the lead vocal of QUEEN). "He started to call me GaGa when I'd come into the studio. When we were getting ready to really start performing, I decided that I'd been playing under my real name for so long I wanted a new way to reinvent myself. So I said, what about Lady Gaga, because Gaga is sort of crazy and Lady has such connotations,"


Obviously we can not all become Lady Gaga. She's a talented dancer, musician and performer but some of us don't. She was destined for it. We all have our own destiny, our own future, just like Lady Gaga she writes her own music and in our position we write what will be in our future. We are born different from each other, we are born with talents. So never drop-out from your school, continue studying because you were Born That Way

Who really is Lady Gaga in my life?. Lady Gaga is one of the reasons why I am confident to who am I, what am I. She really inspire me a lot [you will know it why on my next blogs].The way she supports the LGBT, Anti-Bullying, and also she has her own foundation the "Born This Way Foundation" it is like she is the most sincere artist i've ever known in my entire life.

"You can’t create talents and aptitudes – you’re born with those." 
So stop beating yourself, be what ever you want, try to be free. Start giving yourself a chance. Just like Lady Gaga our lives are art like form too and you are the artist of that original art of you.




Here are some photos of her.
