Marc Jacobs and Lady Gaga cover the Fall 2010 issue of V Magazine.  Also featured are Liya Kebede and Andre Balazs among other prominent names in the annual New York issue.  Fashion photograher Mario Testino captured the images of these amazing talents on film.  If you had any doubt that this was the New York issue, a partially dressed Gaga with her own interpretation of Lady Liberty’s crown and torch should clue you in.  The cover is very artistic, bordering on genius.  If I were a betting woman, I would bet that Lady Gaga was, um, wearing a Marc Jacobs gown.  Marc Jacobs is the fashion designer with leading man good looks, and he gives us his best side profile as he sits on a television set that could have come straight out of the 1950′s. 

Model Liya Kebede and hotelier Andre Balazs are obviously channeling uber-chic Upper-East-Siders in their spread.  The two are dressed up to the nines for a shopping trip that included an apparent stop at Michael Kors’ boutique.  Testino’s tell tale sign that this was a scene from the streets of New York would be the trash bin on the corner with an empty pizza deliver box inside.  The spread includes other famous names like Chloe Sevigny, Marina Abramovic and Debbie Harry to name a few.  Nicola Formichetti styled this amazing photoshoot.
