The Syndicate: Barney's Has Gone Gaga!

The luxury retailer, Barney's New York, in the NYC just opened their Lady Gaga themed Christmas shop, "Gaga's Workshop." Lady Gaga in collaboration with fashion director Nicola Formichetti and Barney's creative director, Dennis Freedman, created a collection of window displays and a "Santa's Workshop" inspired store on the fifth floor of Barney's.

One of the Gaga inspired window displays is a bedroom made entirely of hair (as seen above). The 5,500 square foot shop is no less creative and whimsical. Many of those who have visited the shop since it's opening this past Monday describe it as Willy Wonka crossed with Tim Burton and Santa Claus. The shop features a giant Lady Gaga spider and a statue of her; a giant replica of the shop's logo.

Gaga's workshop is attracting fans, celebrities, and tourist alike. As it is Barney's, many of the gifts and items are priced quite high, but there are many affordable gifts and souvenirs to buy for any Lady Gaga fans or visitors this holiday. In addition, 25% of the proceeds are going to her new foundation, The Born This Way Foundation, started by Gaga and her mother to fight bullying and promote bravery and acceptance towards today's youth. Barney's has made an extensive effort in promoting the opening of Gaga's Workshop by having their very own Gaga themed taxi cab and inflatable balloons stationed around the city.

Here's some items off the Barney's website that you can buy. (I apologize for the small image size!) To see more click this--->link!
