London,
(ANI):
Scottish
designer
Rachael
Barrett"s
life
changed
after
pop
sensation
Lady
Gaga
described
the
25-year-old
fashion
graduate
as
“my
favourite
new
designer".Less
than
a
year
ago
Rachael
was
a
struggling
art
student
who
could
barely
afford
the
trip
home
to
her
native
Glasgow.
But
now,
things
have
changed.
GaGa
wore
Barrett
creations
-
which
cost
up
to
1,000
pounds-
in
the
video
for
last
November"s
number
one
hit
Bad
Romance
and
for
Telephone.
A
Barrett
dress
also
features
in
Lady
Gaga"s
current
Monster
Ball
world
tour,
and
the
singer
appeared
on
The
Ellen
DeGeneres
Show
in
another
Barrett
design.
“Rachael
is
my
favourite
new
designer.
Her
innovation
with
latex,
silhouette,
and
minimalism
is
refreshing,
inspirational
and
promising
for
the
future
of
fashion," GaGa
told
fashion
magazine
Dazed
&
Confused
in
an
interview.
“It
was
absolutely
wonderful
when
I
discovered
Lady
Gaga
would
be
wearing
one
of
my
dresses
for
the
Bad
Romance
video.
After
graduating
it
was
pretty
rough,
I
had
a
tough
summer
hunting
for
freelance
work,
so
for
this
to
happen
was
a
real
surprise," expressed
Barrett,
who
was
voted
“breakthrough
designer
of
the
year"
at
last
November"s
Scottish
Style
Awards.
