Five Ways to Dress Your Dog Like Lady Gaga

Doggies Go Gaga Ooh La La

Now that the calendar pages have turned to October, one important question is beginning to float into the minds of dog owners: “What should my dog be for Halloween?”

Cheerleaders, devils, ballerinas, firefighters–those are all so last year. Doggie fashion has evolved far beyond those basic, uninspired getups. This year’s canine couture is all about provocation and innovation.

This year is all about Lady Gaga.

The Doggie Gaga Project

San Francisco-based photographer Jesse Freidin launched the “Doggie Gaga Project” this past spring. Drawing influences from his love of photography, canine companionship, and Gaga’s new role as Creative Director of Polaroid, Freidin developed this series of instant Polaroid photos featuring canine models in some of Gaga’s most iconic looks.

“Each costume was made completely by hand, and tailored to our dogs’ specifications. My team and I gathered supplies from local craft and fabric stores, and had a lot of fun reinterpreting Lady Gaga’s signature styles,” said Freidin.

So if you’re gaga for Gaga, take Freidin’s advice and head to the local craft store with these five simple, fabulous costume ideas in mind.
