For the end listen to the song by Lady Gaga Fashion.
TASK 1 – Listen to the song and, as you read the lyrics, underline the statements that show the singer's definition of FASHION. Explain.
I am… I'm too fabulous
I'm so fierce that it's so nuts
I live to be model thin
Dress me, I'm your mannequin.
J'adore1 Vivienne, habillez-moi2
Gucci, Fendi et Prada.
Valentino, Armani too.
Merde, I love them Jimmy Choo.
[CHORUS:] (2X)
Fashion put it all on me,
Don't you wanna see
These clothes on me?
Fashion put it all on me,
I am anyone you want me to be.
Oh oh, La la la, we love designer.
I need some new stilettos
Can't walk down the street in those
You are who you wear, it's true.
A girl's just as hot as the shoes she choose, oh yeah
J'adore Weitzman, habillez-moi
Louis, Dolce Gabbana,
Alexander McQueen, et oh
Merde, I love those Manolo

Oh oh, La la la, we love designer
Oh oh, La la la, we love designer
