From a press release I received this morning from Armani Privé:

Milan, January 31st, 2010 — Giorgio Armani is pleased to announce a unique collaboration with the artist Lady Gaga, who this Sunday, January 31st, will walk her very first red carpet at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. Throughout the evening, Lady Gaga, who is nominated for 5 Grammy Awards, will be dressed exclusively in Giorgio Armani Privé.

Giorgio Armani has created a variety of special pieces for Lady Gaga to wear for both the evening’s ceremony and for her special live stage performance.

Giorgio Armani says, “We hear Lady Gaga’s music everywhere we go. It is like a soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a modern fashion phenomenon. I am delighted to be creating these outfits on such an important night for her, the Grammys, and I wish her the best of luck.”

Sharing Mr. Armani’s enthusiasm, Lady Gaga adds, “I am honored to be wearing Armani this evening. The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic; they represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist. Mr. Armani is a fashion legend, and tonight would not have been the same without his touch, and his wonderful team.”
