Giorgio Armani Duet: Elton John & Lady Gaga

http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfc/Giorgio_Armani-lalgkj-slb-l.html
Elton John & Lady Gaga decked out in Swarovski-encrusted Giorgio Armani Sunglasses at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

It’s always hard not to notice Lady Gaga. When she performed her duet with Elton John during the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards the outlandish duo were both rocking Swarovski-encrusted sunglasses custom-made by Giorgio Armani.

Dressed exclusively in Giorgio Armani Privé, the designer collaborated with Lady Gaga on all her attire, from head to toe, that she wore throughout the evening. It was definitely a winning combo as she took home two Grammys, one for Best Dance Recording for “Pokerface” and another for Best Electronic/Dance Album for “The Fame.”

“The series of pieces Mr. Armani created for me are truly iconic,” says Lady Gaga. “They represent not only beautiful fashion, but my spirit and essence as an artist.”

Not to be totally outdone, five-time Grammy winner Elton John wore a Giorgio Armani black two-button notch lapel tuxedo with a classic black evening shirt and black neck tie.
