FIRST LOOK - PORTER MAGAZINE UNVEILS LADY GAGA AS ITS NEW COVER STAR

The NET-A-PORTER Group’s first independent consumer magazine – is delighted to reveal Lady Gaga as its latest cover star.

Photographed by Inez & Vinoodh, Gaga appears as you have never seen her before, in a set of beautiful and tender images that reveal the young woman behind the global phenomenon. The 28 year old superstar is captured in her truest, most intimate form: sitting bare-faced at the makeup table; writing at the piano; in her grandmother’s robe, the piece she wears to write in at home. In her most candid interview to date, Gaga tells PORTER how she has survived a decade of fame and infamy and shares her thoughts on love and intimacy.

Lucy Yeomans, Editor-in-Chief, says: “It is often easy to forget that there is actually a young woman - and an exceptional musician – behind the wigs and the costumes, the hype and the theatrics. With these pictures, we wanted to reveal the woman behind the Lady, the artist behind the artifice. Indeed when I first saw Inez & Vinoodh's shot of Gaga wearing nothing but her grandmother’s vintage robe - the piece she often wears to write her music in - I just knew it had to be the cover. It felt authentic, personal and beautiful, and unlike any image I have seen of her before."

The second issue of PORTER is shoppable through NET-A-PORTER’s iPhone app and is available at newsstands globally and at NET-A-PORTER.COM and THE OUTNET.COM from Friday 4th April.
