# Gagafied Gender-Benders Edward Vigiletti Crosses Barriers to Become a Pop Icon By Kamal Musharbash | Published 2010-11-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edward-vigiletti References: [homotography.blogspot](http://homotography.blogspot.com/2010/11/edward-vigiletti-as-lady-gaga-by.html) & [marcelok](http://marcelok.com/) It seems couture cross-dressing is a new craze, with editorials such as Candy magazine's burlesque-type photo shoot, featuring men like Edward Vigiletti and Hamish Bowles decked out in iconic outfits. Photographer Marcelo Krasilcic takes this hot development one step further with an entire Gaga-inspired shoot. Edward Vigiletti crosses the gender barrier by becoming a certified Gaga guy. The shoot is somewhat comical, while being totally effective and completely risque. Regardless, the resemblance is uncanny. Check it out in the featured gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Couture Cross-dressing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create gender-neutral fashion lines that challenge traditional notions of clothing and style. - **Iconic Outfits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a rental platform for iconic outfits, allowing people to experience transformative fashion moments without the need for ownership. - **Gaga-inspired Shoots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an AI-powered platform that allows users to generate personalized Gaga-inspired photo shoots, bringing self-expression and creativity to the masses. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce technology-enabled virtual fitting rooms that provide accurate measurements, personalized recommendations, and an immersive shopping experience. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with drag performers and artists to create immersive experiences that blur the line between reality and fantasy, transforming the way people consume entertainment. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an AI-powered photo editing tool that automatically emulates the style and aesthetics of iconic photo shoots, enabling users to recreate their favorite moments with ease. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Socially Impactful NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [High Fashion Clog Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-jean-paul-gaultier.md)
