Lady Gaga Submits Resume to Philip Treacy, Prepares to Make Coffee

What's Your Reaction:

Just to show she is completely serious, pop icon Lady Gaga has just submitted her resume to London milliner Philip Treacy as part of her bid to intern for him this summer.

A spokesperson at Philip Treacy said the resume was serious but also "pretty funny" -- and that though there are many requests from media outlets to see what's on it, for now, Mr. Treacy, who makes Lady Gaga's hats is staying mum. (Gaga's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta and she is 24).

Getting an internship with Treacy, 43, is no easy feat. "You need to have experience, and be very, very quick," explains a spokesperson.

Gaga's experience is obviously not of the conventional kind -- her college major at New York University's Tisch School was in music not fashion -- but no matter. "She really wants to learn fashion" says Treacy's PR agent.

Is the London milliner worried that the internship could damage their friendship? That there might be a "blow-up" between two highly creative people?

Pause.

"We'll see."

Gaga has agreed to take an intern's wages -- namely nothing for one month -- and she is said to be "very very keen to learn the craft of making hats."

"After all, Coco Chanel started out making hats," the Philip Treacy spokesperson reminded me.

True.

But did Coco Chanel ever make the coffee? Apparently coffee-making is definitely on Gaga's list of duties while under Treacy's employment.

GaGa is a trip. I'd like to see her show. Why not learn to make hats? Only GaGa would take time away from her huge Pop-carrer to do this.

Gaga is so cool. how refreshing to have someone passionate and creative

Why not? She's serious, creative, talented and willing to work her way up from the bottom with no special treatment when she has enormous priviledge in other areas. Seems like an excellect investment that could work to everyone's advantage.

1. Philip Treacy is IRISH!!!!...he's not from London. So what's with the "London milliner" thing? Do the research!!
2. Lady Gaga has such a creative imagination and I think she she will do brilliantly with Philip Treacy! Lady Gaga is amazing!!

ER, because he lives and works in London and is a milliner?

That makes him a "London Milliner" Anna Wintour is from London, does that mean she's not a New York fashion editor?

She is endlessly entertaining, even if you don't like her music.

If she gets the internship that's a big slap in the face to all the design students who have studied their butts off.
05:24 PM on 05/20/2010
Look on the bright side, music and fashion are so intertwined that perhaps she could inspire a women's hat trend. That would create a demand for more hard working design students. Besides, at those "wages", Treacy could easily afford to increase his intern stable.

fascinating. i have to respect that she is following her heart and doing something so unusual. i don't always like her music, but her persona is so not run of the mill.

In a recent (U-Tube) video, Lady Gaga/Prince, a remix of "When Doves Cry", (Reload), she cries out to "refocus". She is a blue (indigo), and am sure she is trying to "refocus", and serious of working with Philip. I don't find her attractive, but I think her (spirit) is sexy. You go girl, millions of little girl's love your (spirit) also. ;)
