Over the past year or so Lady Gaga has sometimes shocked but no doubt inspired us with her original and inventive fashion sense.

Her all in one red lace dress that went over her face and into Bart Simpson type spikes stunned everyone at the MTV VMA’s in 2009.  It went on to feature in white for her ‘Bad Romance’ video.  But this time it was in PVC play suit form.  Gaga has girls sporting her trademark lightening bolt, and her hair bow that she wore in the Poker Face video.

Even celebrities are trying to duplicate Gaga’s fashion.  Leona Lewis wore a black lace patch around her eye, a huge black ruffle around her neck, black bra top and black trousers to Perez Hilton’s party.

It seems that Rihanna has taken a leaf out of Gaga’s book also.  At her New Years eve gig she donned an out fit that screamed Gaga.  She wore a black head piece that looked like it was taken from Gaga’s wardrobe.  Her outfit was a bronze jacket and tights resembling women’s suspenders.

The world is slowly turning Gaga and I’m alright with that.  The world needs something new and fresh instead of the fashion industry regurgitating past trends that aren’t going to get much better than what they are today.  We’re running out of ideas and Gaga is our Messiah, so let’s not crucify her for her brilliant artistic take on fashion.

She has said recently that within the coming months she would love to get to work on her own fashion line and believes that celebrities should never look casual.  She wants them ‘to be who they really are all the time’.

It’s time for a renaissance.  Create your own style.  Go Gaga for fashion!

Topshop, the most fashionable and original high street store on the streets of Dublin today, is finally putting the icing on the cake with a cherry or two on top by releasing their own make up range this May.

The make up collection promises a seasonal range of make up that is inspired by some of the hottest and trendiest places on earth like L.A’s beaches and Rios clubbing scene.  Their colours are going to be as wild and quirky as its customers who sport Topshop’s unique style, and were created by fashion trends instead of make up trends.

Those who have been lucky to have a sneak preview have mentioned that they have tried a nail polish called ‘The Big Smoke’ which is similar to Chanel’s popular ‘Particulier’.

Their aim is to make girls look natural so it’s no surprise that they haven’t focused much on foundations.  They have Skin Tint instead, which is a lightly tinted moisturiser and also Skin Glow for under the Skin Tint, that reportedly looks amazing.

Topshop have always offered fun and inventiveness.  They plan to keep us excited by changing their make up every season.  With the Oxegen weekend in sight their first instalments will be themed on festivals.  False eye lashes, bright festival colours and glitter, it just shouts festival!

With the promise of this make up range making its debut in May I plan to be camped outside the store before they sell out of everything, which is no doubt going to happen.

Write it into your planners girls, and be the first ones to sport the fabulous new Topshop make up range.
