Lady Gaga’s puppy love

CEBU, Philippines – Lady Gaga has landed the 2014 September cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, and she’s not alone. Clad in a pink Chanel dress, jacket and matching hat, the star holds tight to a printed Chanel purse and—more importantly—her cute French bulldog puppy, Asia.

Inside the publication, the star is interviewed by Karl Lagerfeld, and naturally, the designer can’t help but suggest a pet playdate with his famous cat, Choupette.

Mother Monster is totally game for the idea (“They most certainly must meet!”) but does confess that her pup isn’t as pampered as the fashionable kitty. “She doesn’t have a personal maid yet but I adore making her little presents and cooking her homemade puppy food.”

Pets aside, the duo also delve into the future of fashion and Gaga confesses she’s been getting inspiration from past style icons.

“I’ve been recently enjoying looking far and wide for the best vintage fashion I can find. Clothing with a story, a past. Heavy fabrics, jewels, veils,” the “Applause” singer shares.

“My latest trip is feeling a connection to all women throughout history through fashion. I love wearing clothes knowing that I’m carrying the spirit of previous fashionistas, and living out more of their fantasies, and my own. I believe clothes carry the soul of the designer and the person wearing them forever, so I look for clothes with a soul. Perhaps it’s something only I can see. But I know it’s real.”

And speaking of other very famous females, Lady Gaga is just one of 19 ladies covering Harper’s Bazaar’s September issues worldwide. Penelope Cruz, Linda Evangelista, Lara Stone and Cindy Crawford are also featured on the upcoming editions.
