NICOLA FORMICHETTI TO DESIGN OWN LINE

By Lucinda Rose Constable, Pages Digital
Nicola Formichetti has always been a major player in the fashion industry, well as long as I have been around for, but it seems he is coming out of the woodworks much more recently. He was always known for his work at Dazed & Confused and Vogue Hommes International, but it was through his close quarters with Lady Gaga that truly catapulted him into the world of celebrity. Now Formichetti is a star in his own right, only cemented by all the blog craziness surrounding him. Last year he was named the Creative Director of Mugler, which is a huge coup for someone with no design background.

His debut show for the French house was generally a success and lived up to the hype. Now Formichetti has stated that by this time next year he will have a line of his own, supposedly a namesake label. It will more than likely be a massive hit, well you would hope so with Lady Gaga as your number one fan. In a time where most ‘designers’ are actually glorified stylists, at least Formichetti has a well rounded and informed opinion on the world of high fashion.
