Lady Gaga is tearing through the September issues, and oh, how it warms our hearts so! She appears in this month's V and Out and Japanese Vogue Hommes, on newsstands today in Japan (and here soon, hopefully — if we owned a bookstore we'd overnight that shipment). She appears with and without pants in various states of bondage, shot by Nobuyoshi Araki and styled by Nicola Formichetti. Here she wears Alexander Wang's crocodile booties with strings tied to her limbs. In fact, the entire issue is bondage-themed and looks incredible. (See more here.) [Design Scene]
