Nicola Formichetti, one of Lady Gaga's favorite stylists and the new creative director of Mugler, talks about the many struggles of his brief career in the new issue of W.
See, it's hard to work in fashion when you're just so frank and so original and so very, very bad at what Formichetti refers to as "the whole politics thing." Formichetti says, "I would just tell people the truth, and I'd get fired." Oh, Nicola Formichetti, can you lay some of that mind-blowing truthiness on us?
How about this example of crusading truth-telling, from when he worked at Dazed & Confused:
One shoot, which involved dressing a rock band, was particularly unfortunate. "I was only used to dressing models and skinny kids," he recalled. "And I turned up and it was, like, three fat guys. I just left. That was the last time I tried to work with fat people. I think one of them was Ali G's brother. It was so ghetto."
Aside from the (very) obvious: we are concerned that Nicola Formichetti seems to think that Ali G is a real person. (The band this anecdote seems to refer to, ZOHAR, is a four-piece ensemble that combines Middle Eastern and world music with dance beats. It counts Erran Baron Cohen as a member.)
