The megastar appears on the January gatefold cover of the Condé Nast glossy men’s magazine, which hits newsstands Tuesday.

Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the black-and-white images, styled by Nicola Formichetti, show Gaga wearing an Yves Saint Laurent jacket, Chanel pants and a theatrical silk tulle Philip Treacy hat. The shots are almost identical, except for an oversize pair of sunglasses shielding the artist’s eyes in one of the photos.

Inside the magazine, a feature written by Italian art critic Francesco Bonami highlights the link that connects Gaga’s performances to the world of contemporary art. Bonami grandly defines her as “a singing sculpture” whose “body is not a territory to be conquered, but a stage for new sets to be installed.”

Doneger was inducted into the Accessories Council’s Hall of Fame, which recognizes outstanding business leaders for their contributions to the accessories market. Doneger said the night was also significant for him because a portion of the evening’s proceeds went to the Henry Doneger Scholarship Fund, which honors the executive’s father; and the Accessories Design Program at FIT. In addition, the event coincided with The Doneger Group’s 65th anniversary.

“This is a very special recognition,” said Doneger, who attended with his mother, sister, wife and three sons. “I’m excited to celebrate with my family.”

Footwear News also caught up with Frank Zambrelli, who, in addition to running footwear brand Banfi Zambrelli, serves as chairman of the Accessories Council. Zambrelli said that, as an FIT alumnus, the evening was also meaningful for him. “When a student graduates from FIT, they’ve not just drawn a handbag or a drawn a shoe, they’ve put together a handbag. They’ve lasted a shoe,” he said.

Zambrelli also revealed that his company, which has focused solely on women’s footwear, is delving into men’s for fall ’12. Zambrelli said retailers who already carry the brand’s women’s styles will be the first to sell the new men’s line, which was created to fill the gap between casual and dressy styles.

“There’s a real hole in the [men’s market],” Zambrelli said. “It relates to how men are dressing today. When they are not going to work, they are still dressing up a little. They’re not going to wear an English brogue, but it also shouldn’t be a [sneaker]. [The new Banfi Zambrelli line] is decidedly modern, but that doesn’t mean avant-garde.”

Despite being so rich, Gisele like simple things in life like cleaning the house she shares with husband Tom Brady, their 16-month-old-son Benjamin and her three-year-old stepson Jack.

“I love it. Cleaning the house is actually very therapeutic for me. Becoming a parent has given me a whole new perspective on life. I can’t put into words how much I love it.”
