Pop “It Girl” of the Hour Lady Gaga and Design God Marc Jacobs are perched on September’s “The New York Issue” of V Magazine, honoring the fashion and art of the City That Never Sleeps.

“Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion…she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse,” says V editor Stephen Gan.
