Tomorrow, Wednesday March 19th, Gaga’s will be on the TODAY show! As part of a segment in a series called “Cheapskate: The Quest for the Best Bargains”, Gaga’s is featured for its great values on children’s special occasion clothes.

We’re expecting to have several outfits on models, a few more on dress forms, and hopefully there will be a four-legged model showing off one of our new fashions from Scooter’s Friends.

As always, we’ll have the video on the site in the “As Seen and Heard” section just as soon as possible.

The current (February 2008) issue of Parenting magazine gushes about Gaga’s service and offerings, even noting that we offer a lot more than just wedding apparel. Read the full article below:

Gaga’s was featured on “190 North”, a production of Chicago’s ABC7. The magazine-format show features the very best Chicago has to offer, and had a great segment on Gaga’s!

Here are a few screens from the show, or click the big image below to view the whole thing on YouTube. Thanks to Janet Davies and the entire 190 North team.

Janet Davies and the crew from ABC7’s magazine show “190 N.” were in the Gaga’s offices and warehouse yesterday for a chat. In addition to letting me explain what Gaga’s is all about and how we save parents money, they taped a mini-fashion show with six great outfits and interviewed a delighted Gaga’s customer who used us for her wedding.

If you’re in the Chicago area, you can watch us on ABC7 at 10:30pm on Sunday, 16 December 2007, and then again at 11:30pm on Saturday, 22 December. If you’re not in the Chicago area, or just not a night owl, our segment should be available on the 190 N. website shortly after the first airing.

PS — Today is the birthday of the Gaga in my life who inspired the name of the company. Happy Birthday mom, I love you and miss you.

A Gaga’s Exclusive, by designer Steven Rosengard from TV’s Project Runway

Gaga’s has joined forces with Chicago’s rising star clothing designer, Steven Rosengard, to create our latest original design: the Perfect Rose Dress.

Steven Rosengard, 30, is competing in the current season of Bravo’s Project Runway and has garnered attention in Chicago for his work with natural fabrics that bring a simple, yet elegant, perspective to women’s day wear.

The Gaga’s Exclusive Perfect Rose Dress is available only online here, at Gagas.com. The base dress, with its full, elegant silhouette and quirky half sleeves, is offered in white and ivory satin with a choice of 36 colors for the sashes and signature rosette accent.

Steven’s design is really, absolutely exquisite. At Gaga’s, all of us are so thrilled to offer this beautiful design from a great local designer.

Steven has also done several seasonal variations on the design: the Christmas and New Year’s versions, available for purchase nowhere but here at Gagas.com, which will be revealed on December 6th.

We’re also having an amazing special promotion now! The first 100 orders for the Perfect Rose Dress, either for purchase or for rental, will receive a free matching wrist rosette on a tie ribbon, autographed by Rosengard. The rosette will be the girl’s to keep even if the dress is rented.

Gaga’s was thrilled to be the feature of a story in today’s Chicago Tribune business section.

We were really pleased with the story, and two pictures, including one nearly half-page one — that’s too much me for even me! The article was looking at companies making the decision to seek Angel funding featured Gaga’s and another young company.

So here’s a question for you… When we do photos, TV appearances, trade shows, etc., we have two ways of displaying the clothes. First is the more traditional dressmaker’s form, such as those holding the two dresses immediately to the right of me in the photo. The second way is on the mannequins. Do you prefer one over the other? A friend of mine calls the mannequin children the “woodland creatures”, perhaps tipping his hand for which style he likes better. Which do you find more appealing?

Gaga’s presented a Fall fashion show this morning for the viewers of Chicago’s NBC5’s morning show. Gaga’s CEO, Mike W. Miller, explained what Gaga’s offers and how it works, then our models showed off some great — and inexpensive! — fashions that are perfect for any sort of back-to-school season event.

Parents magazine has a nice little piece about Gaga’s in their current (May 2007) issue which is on the newsstands now. With over 2.2 million subscribers in the United States, this is the biggest exposure Gaga’s has received so far, and we’re really excited that they found us and put this together entirely on their own — we learned we were in this issue by hearing about it from our customers!

Here’s the cover; the full article is below. (more…)

Gaga’s was thrilled to be invited to appear on Chicago’s ABC7 this morning. As we explained to our host, Judy Hsu, Gaga’s offers parents an easy and inexpensive option for dressing the kids for any kind of special occasion, including Easter!

Our models showed off four great outfits that would be perfect for Easter services, brunch with the family, group portraits — just about anything you might be doing this Easter weekend where you’d like the kids to look extra special.
