“The thing is, at the end of the day, I have a real respect for fashion designers,” Gaga told The Post at her stylist and friend Brandon Maxwell’s show Tuesday night at the Monkey Bar. “And it’s the reason I don’t have my own line and the reason I never will. If I ever do anything in fashion, it will always just be as a muse or as an aesthetic, creative. I like to be a part of helping artists find themselves and feel good about who they are,” she said, holding a martini and sporting a chic, all-black Maxwell creation. “I would never for a second claim to be proficient in fashion design [just] because I know good looks.”
