Lady Gaga to auction off Harper's Bazaar outfit: 'These garments tell the story of my life'

'Applause' superstar Lady Gaga has revealed that the outfit she wore for her new Harper's Bazaar photo shoot will be put up for auction to benefit her Born This Way Foundation.

Writing on her official Twitter page this afternoon (February 5), the beauty explained that proceeds will be given to her organisation for the 'Youth Bravery' mission: "Fashion from this shoot will be auctioned for my youth bravery mission: The Born This Way Foundation. #GagaForBravery."

Alongside the stunning cover shoot, in which she wears Saint-Laurent, she also sat down for an extensive interview with the magazine and opened up about her love of fashion: "The fashion I've acquired over the years is so sacred to me—from costumes to couture, high fashion to punk wear I've collected from my secret international hot spots."

"I keep everything in an enormous archive in Hollywood. The clothes are on mannequins, also on hangers and in boxes with a photo of each piece, and there's a Web site where I can go to look through everything. It's too big - I could never sort through it myself! But these garments tell the stories of my life."

"And then there are the tour pieces. This is the section that is most sacred to me. These are the pieces that have collected energy, joy, and screams from fans all over the world. My fashion is my most prized possession for two reasons: 1) because it is a visualisation of all the hard work I've put in to get where I am today; 2) because it is a legend to the encyclopedia of my life. It is exactly what I've aimed to seep into the artistic consciousness of people all over the world—that life is an art form."
