In what could be the most unlikely pairing in fashion history, the outrageous Lady Gaga has teamed with the stylishly elegant Giorgio Armani.
The new design duo have signed a multimillion dollar agreement for him to design the costumes for her next tour.
There's a lot more to it than that, but details of the surprising partnership are about as sketchy as some of Gaga's fashion decisions.
Giorgio's niece Roberta Armani announced the news, hinting that it was an attempt to stay relevant to younger generations who get their goss from social media.
"A huge company like Giorgio Armani has the duty to always be alert to trends and what appeals to young people," she said.
"It helped to see how the world is through Lady Gaga, the way she uses Facebook and Twitter."
Armani has already designed Gaga's outfits for various awards shows including the Grammys (pictured), but this sounds squarely like an attempt by the old man to get hip with the cool kids.
