The man behind ladygaga's mask, Lance Victor Moore gave WWD an inside look at its creation.
Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards were an unprecedented take on the live awards show and red-carpet format — and no one dominated like Lady Gaga. Delivering look after look, Gaga was never seen without a mask, driving home messaging around the importance of wearing masks in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic — in a fashionable way, of course.
“I kind of fell into it. I’ve always sewed and tinkered and things, but I went to school for painting,” he says over the phone Monday morning after a short night’s sleep. Formichetti’s team wanted to know what he was working on at the moment; they replied with some things they liked and he got to work creating options.
“I was shocked by it — I was told, ‘hey you should watch the VMAs, something might show up,’” Moore says. “The first mask that came up I was blown away, and then with the second one I almost fell over.”
