It was announced this week that the new Millennium’s Queen of Pop Lady Gaga has been hired as the new creative director for Polaroid cameras. Yes, Polaroid, the instant camera that revolutionized instant photography back in the 1940s and beyond has apparently instantly purchased Gaga’s soul, making the hit performer their Creative Director. Photo proof:
See? Because Polaroid is so retro that it’s actually come full circle and is starting to become cool again. Nevermind whether or not Gaga is going to have time to actual show up to their offices in Minnesota in between her ocular periods and vacations to Saturn.
Let’s face it, Polaroid pictures are fun, but Lady Gaga? The hottest ticket in town, becoming their creative director? Odd, as is to be expected.
Which got us wondering: Could hipster celebrities shilling for retro products become a trend? Because we sort of like it. So much so that we’ve put together 5 Fantasy Collaborations between some of our favorite celebrities and old school products. Take a look now, before they show up on the backpage of the New York Times.
