Barneys unveils Gaga-inspired holiday display

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Barneys New York has unveiled its winter holiday season display inspired by trend-setting pop star Lady Gaga.

The store said it will donate 25 percent of sales from items featured in Gaga's Workshop to the Born This Way Foundation.

Established by the singer and her mother, the organization said it intends to focus on youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues such as self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development.

"Gaga's Workshop is the largest and most completely realized holiday project ever undertaken in the history of Barneys New York and we are beyond thrilled to present it this season," Mark Lee, Barneys' chief executive officer, said in a statement Tuesday. "We hope to raise significant funds to benefit the Born This Way Foundation and we thank Lady Gaga, Nicola Formichetti, Eli Sudbrack and avaf, as well as all of the collaborators and vendors who have worked so hard to make this holiday initiative come to life."

"For my first-ever window designs, it's an honor to be collaborating with the prestigious Barneys' brand and its creative history," Formichetti added.
