Dogs everywhere can rejoice! Lady Gaga, who famously wore a meat dress to the 2010 MTV Awards, is designing a line of “quality, functional and purposeful” pet clothes just for them…yum! Well, Lady Gaga’s dog, Asia, is actually doing the designing. I know, no opposable thumbs and all. But, Asia is still very excited about it, so we’ll have to wait in anticipation to find out!
Inspired by said adorable, black French Bulldog, Asia, Lady Gaga began working on the collection six to eight months ago organically, out of love for Asia, as revealed by her manager, Bobby Campbell, to Billboard magazine. ‘This is not just about crazy outfits for dogs,” he explained. “It’s about giving pet parents and pet owners a fun and creative way for protecting their pets, as well as fun clothes to display on Instagram (because Gaga loves doing that).”
Gaga has been teasing fans for the last week with pup-centric sketches on Instagram and photos of Asia in chic outfits. The setting are very stylized, too, like Asia posing with Vogue magazines on a picnic blanket and wearing several pawfect accessories. In one picture, Asia looks over some sketches, with the Instagram captioned: “I love to eat while I sketch my ideas for the fashionable puppy line I’m starting!”
I love this; Campbell also revealed that some of the proceeds will go to “locally-based organizations that do great work with real pets.” Creating a dog collection makes sense, considering she’s often spotted in coordinating ensembles with Mother Monster (also, she may be the only pup we’ve ever seen in a custom Alexander McQueen mask-seriously).

In another Instagram post, Asia says sweetly, “I get hooked up with the finest in puppy products, so I really have a knack for what’s quality. My vision is to find creative & functional ways for pets and their owners to bond! Keep a look out for a special announcement. I’m the star of a new campaign for a major luxury fashion brand. You never know, I could grace the pages of Italian Vogue.”

Asia’s mom will be the artistic director for the collection, which will feature pet clothing and accessories, toys and bowls. A launch date is yet to be revealed. Stay tuned for more as it develops.
And, if you thought Asia might not get to be a real dog…ever…have a look at this with her new little brother, Koji.
