Rumors started in June across a few social media outlets that Jo Calderone, who is on this months Vogue Hommes Japan cover, was Lady Gaga’s male alter ego, and we must admit we were a little confused.
Now that the cover (styled by Nicola Formichetti) and interview inside has finally circulated we understand why that comparison was suggested.
Take look at the rather convincing shots of Jo Calderone above as well as the interview below by Jo-ann Furniss.
