Is Nicola Formichetti Heading to Diesel? [Update: Yes]

(4/3) Yesterday we learned that designer Nicola Formichetti and label Thierry Mugler were going their separate ways, sad news for anyone that loved seeing Lady Gaga's right hand man at the head of the French brand.

The New Face of Saint Laurent Mens? Marilyn Manson

Stylist and designer Nicola Formichetti posted the above photo to Tumblr earlier today. Yes, that is what Marilyn Manson looks like posing for Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent lens.  The shock rocker and legendary French fashion brand make strange bedfellows, and I expect that some of our readers might be particularly resistant to what has seemed like […]

On Lady Gaga’s Diamond Buckteeth

For a video that opens with a shot of Lady Gaga whispering, "my heart sometimes feels so black," Thierry Mugler's Spring 2012 is so long it's criminal. A whole five minutes is devoted to similar nonsense, as if there weren't enough to pay attention to in the world. I'd like to believe this video, and […]

So, now that we've resigned ourselves to the maybe sad fact that Kanye West is showing a womenswear collection on the runway in Paris next week, we've got to deal with the announcement that Lady Gaga is debuting her new "short film" at Thierry Mugler's Paris womenswear show.

Lady Gaga Leaks ‘You and I’ [VIDEO!]

Lady Gaga released her fourth video from "Born This Way" ahead of schedule on her YouTube page yesterday and well, I like it. A country-inspired ballad about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Lüc Carl, Yoü and I seems like one of Gaga's most personal creations, and I've been fiending to see some soft fleshy parts underneath […]

Nicola Formichetti Wants ‘Old People’ to Go Away

Nicola Formichetti is on my list of people that just need to Be Quiet. Just a couple of weeks ago, the stylist responsible for Lady Gaga's one-note look got embroiled in an internet firestorm when W magazine ran a feature that mentioned some ill-advised comments Formichetti had made about "fat people."

Do Tom Ford and Nicola Formichetti Hate Fat People?

Tom Ford needs to stop giving interviews, because each time he opens his mouth he says something weird about "fat people" and it's really distasteful and it makes the fashion industry seem terrible. Back in December, the former Gucci designer raised a lot of eyebrows when he a told reporter that he believes that fat […]

Smurfette Models Designer Looks for Harper’s Bazaar

While you were getting your tights in a twist about the number of models losing magazine covers, ad campaigns, and even editorial spreads to celebrities, Harper's Bazaar upped the ante: in their latest issue, the magazine ditched the passe concept of photographing living, breathing people for clothing spreads and got into CGI instead.
