Tonight's opening in the NY Flagship store at Barney's is GAGA’S WORKSHOP! I think a road trip is in order.....totally unprecedented move for Barney's!!
The popstar will cut the ribbon at the entrance to her first retail space—around 9:45PM tonight at the 60th Street entrance to the Barneys men’s shop. The workshop itself, which is located on the totally transformed 5th floor, will open to the public at 11:59.
Barneys' 60th Street entrance will be tricked out like a fun house. Shoppers will enter through the mouth of a giant monster-like Lady Gaga. The store's windows will be transformed into “a Gaga themed tableaux,” taking inspiration from music, fashion, astrology and the elements, store officials said.
Gaga's Workshop is divided into eight elaborately designed stations, including a toy shop, library, gallery and a jewelry shop created out of "an oversized Lady Gaga-turned-spider and a boudoir in the shape of a giant wig," according to store reps.
The products will range in price from $6 for stocking stuffer candy to a one-off pair of Gaga shoes for $4,100, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
Barneys will donate 25 percent of sales from all items featured in Gaga’s Workshop to the Born This Way Foundation, recently founded and announced by Lady Gaga and her mother. The foundation will focus on youth empowerment by building self-confidence, fighting bullying, and involving mentoring and career development.
