Pop sensation Lady Gaga has ruled out ever turning her passion for fashion into a side career, insisting she respects designers too much to intrude on their territory.

Gaga, 29, known for her unique sense of style, said she is happy to be dressed by her stylist and friend Brandon Maxwell, reported the New York Post.

"The thing is, at the end of the day, I have a real respect for fashion designers. And it's the reason I don't have my own line and the reason I never will.

"If I ever do anything in fashion, it will always just be as a muse or as an aesthetic, creative. I like to be a part of helping artists find themselves and feel good about who they are. I would never for a second claim to be proficient in fashion design (just) because I know good looks," she said.

Gaga goes on to express her admiration for Brandon, who she credits with helping to embrace her more girly side.
