Lady Gaga is about to own a Liam Findlay original. While the British teen may be far from a household name yet, if the pop queen takes a shine to his design fashion stardom may follow.
Findlay designed the bag as part of a competition run by Laga Handbags. The contest encouraged entrants to create a Gaga-inspired accessory which like the pop star embodied female empowerment. Participants could submit as many entries as they liked, and while Findlay took advantage of this he had the most confidence in his winning design.
The student from Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester said he was “very excited” about his win, particularly since his idol Lady Gaga would receive the finished product.
“It would be amazing personally and for my career aspirations if she were to use the bag one day, as well as wonderful promotion for the wonderful Laga Handbags,” he said.
Findlay’s admiration for Laga Handbags is well placed, as the company helps survivors of the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia rebuild their lives. He said he hopes his win raises awareness of the brand in England. If Lady Gaga does indeed carry Liam Findlay’s handbag, no doubt it’ll give Laga Handbags some money can’t buy publicity.
