Any list of fashion's top drag icons would be amiss to omit drag's unofficial pop mascot. It’s a role Lady Gaga has highly committed herself to; Jo has his own Twitter and Facebook – which, by the by, includes a bio of him as an "international 'male' supermodel" – appeared in the music video for Yoü and I, and even opened last year’s MTV VMAs. The latter appearance was particularly genius, as Gaga used a wrinkled Brooks Brothers suit and a sock in her drawers to sartorially one-up all the other female pop artists in the room – I’m looking at you, Nicki, Katy, and even Jessie J, in a heartfelt attempt to glamorize-via-bedazzlement a broken foot and crutches – who were all but completely transparent in their efforts to replicate the avant-garde trend kickstarted by Gaga herself.
