In 2010 Atsuko has continued to design for Lady Gaga including
her red nun’s outfit for the ‘Alejandro’ video and many pieces for
her ongoing Monster Ball World Tour including the black 50’s cup
bra and the lilac leopard print one piece which have become
staple looks for a performer who rarely wears any garment
more than once. Atsuko also designed Beyonce’s yellow latex
cowgirl outfit for the ‘Telephone’ video with Lady Gaga.
October 2010 has also seen the first full scale Atsuko Kudo
runway show as she headlined at Lingerie New York. Atsuko
presented a completely new couture collection for

in the USA but also the first entirely latex couture show
