How high were Lady Gaga's shoes? How do you get them that high -- what's the process in customizing?
Gaga takes it to a whole other level -- literally. The heel on the shoe she wore to the Oscars was 9 inches high. We collaborate in advance and I take into consideration what she's wearing and we come up with a skyscraper height for the shoe. She's amazing what she can walk in. My favorite custom Brian Atwood for Gaga was the boot we made for her perfume launch. I love designing for Lady Gaga because I know we can pull out all the stops -- and keep in mind that with her, size matters.
