Show Notes

On 12 September 2010 Lady Gaga, won the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year.

She accepted the award in a dress made entirely out of beef.

13 years later Franc Fernandez, the man behind the meat dress, speaks to Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty about his memories of designing the fleshy frock.

He says, pulling apart the flesh and stitching it back together, had "serial killer vibes"!
