ENO INVENTED GAGA’S FLESH DRESS
BRIAN ENO was stunned when he saw LADY GAGA’s headline-grabbing meat dress at an awards show earlier this year (10) - because he pioneered a "flesh" shirt 40 years ago.
The legendary music producer was an art student in England in the 1960s when he dreamed up the idea of clothing made from animal corpses, and fashioned a top from imitation meat.
And he admits he felt years ahead of his time when he saw the Poker Face hitmaker wearing a similar outfit at the MTV Video Music Awards in September (10).
Eno tells Britain’s Seven magazine, "I was a bit fed up about the meat dress, I have to say. When I was at art school in the late Sixties, I was at a college with a big textiles department.
"I took a picture of the back of a butcher’s van with all the meat hanging up, printed it on some cloth and had a shirt made, which was basically a flesh shirt. I must admit though, her garment was a bl**dy sight better than the one I made."
