Lady Gaga won the "Stylemaker" award for her inventive fashion trends and her use of avant-garde accessories that don't let you just sit and watch. Other big names to win awards were Diane von Fürstenberg, Burberry fashion house and even Barbie…

Lady Gaga is not just a musical phenomenon. Most of the noise that surrounds her is related to her outfits and the part that she prefers to cover vs. the parts she'd like the world to talk about. At almost every social event, Lady Gaga manages to stand out and focuses the photographer's attention (and flash lights) towards her. At the beginning of November, Lady Gaga's appearance received an official prize. The Accessories Council Excellence decided to honor her with the Stylemaker Award at the 13th annual awards ceremony. The prize was handed to her by top designer Marc Jacobs who seemed very happy with the occasion. According to the judges, Lady Gaga received the prize due to her unconventional outfits and her ability to astonish each and every time with new designs and accessories. By the way, Lady Gaga's dress for the annual ceremony made it clear to every one – she definitely deserves the award. Although she is one of the world's fashion trends inventors, Lady Gagawasn't the only one to receive applause on the night. Top designerDiane von Fürstenberg, who's responsible for some of the most amazing designs on Spring Summer 2010 catwalks, won the Accessory Visionary Award. Von Fürstenberg's designs enlighten the mind: when you look at her fashion shows you always get the feeling that something new and genuine happening. Top model Agyness Deyn came to the annual awards wearing black from head to toe. Her black hair almost covered her artificial huge eyelashes and her black suit and accessories left no room for mistakes – the combination of black and Agyness Deyn creates an awesome look. Deyn received a prize on behalf of the British fashion house Burberrythat was declared as Brand of the year. Last but not least is Barbie who won the Icon of the year prize. If you think about it seriously, Barbie was one of the most active icons during this year. Even the Brats couldn't win this competition… The great winner of that evening – Lady Gaga – is now working on her new exceptional dresses. Who knows – maybe next year we will all dress like her. On the other hand – would you really want to dress like that when going grocery shopping? Decide for yourself.
