In a behind-the-scenes video for the 99^th issue of V magazine called "V99: Gaga On Gaga", Steven Klein revealed the intention behind this photoshoot.

“	Our common goal was to celebrate the genius of Lee McQueen. We utilized a form of visual seduction to draw people in and perhaps hide behind the seduction. In shooting this endeavour, it was like a ceremony, summoning of the gods.	”
—Steven Klein on V
