An avant-garde dress created by a cutting-edge young Russian designer for none other than the 'queen of drama' Lady Gaga, is set to go under the hammer.

­The black maxi dress worn once by the pop diva is expected to fetch up to $20,000 at Julien's Auctions next month. The sale in LA will put the spotlight on stars' stage costumes, musical instruments and personal belongings.

The dress is the creation of up-and-coming Moscow-born designer Irina Shaposhnikova, who described Gaga as “one of the most stylish and inspirational persons of this century", saying she was greatly honored to create a gown for Gaga.

With its minimalist style, sharp forms and geometric shapes, Shaposhnikova's dress evokes Soviet constructivist art. Her unconventional creation appeared on the cover of the French magazine Madame Figaro earlier this year, sported by Poker Face songstress, Lady Gaga.

The Russian-made dress is part of the designer's MA graduate collection Crystallographica, which “explores a geometric and 3-dimensional approach to the female body and results in new forms and shapes”.

Among other lots featured at the upcoming sale will be stage costumes from Mick Jagger and Kurt Cobain, as well as a guitar from Bono's personal collection.
