Diesel creative director: Gaga influenced popstar fashion.

Nicola Formichetti Has Come a Long Way From Lady Gaga's 'Meat Dress' 

The 37-year-old Japanese-Italian designer got his start as a columnist for Britain's Dazed & Confused magazine, becoming creative director there in 2008. The following year, he styled then-newcomer Lady Gaga for V magazine,leading to a partnership that helped establish the singer as an international fashion icon. (Formichetti was responsible for looks like the instantly iconic "meat dress" she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.)


Before you started working with Diesel or Mugler, you became really well known for styling Lady Gaga early in her career. What was that like? Are you still collaborating with other artists?

Gaga introduced me to the music world and the entertainment world, and for me, it was very new, so I kind of treated it as if I was doing a collection or as if I was doing a magazine shoot. And I think we created some of the most amazing stuff I've done, like the beautiful music videos and some of the crazy looks. I did that for four or five years, and then it was time to move on and concentrate on my own stuff with Mugler and Diesel. 
Now that I have a little bit more time, I'm working with this young rapper called Brooke Candy. I really believe in her. She's going to release an album this summer, and I'm doing all her visuals, and Sia is the executive music producer. So she's not going to go wrong. [Laughs.] She's got a great look and great music. I mean, what else do you need?

Six years ago, it was a big deal for you as a high-fashion designer to be working with Gaga, but now it seems like every designer is forming similar relationships with up-and-coming talent.

It's crazy. You know, when I first started working with Gaga, everyone used to go against me, saying, "You work in high fashion, you shouldn't work with a musician." Back then, you could name only a few [artists] that were really collaborating with fashion designers, like Madonna with [Jean Paul] Gaultier and Bjork with [Alexander] McQueen. So when I first started borrowing clothes for Gaga, people said no. They were like, "Oh, I'm so sorry, we don't think she's right," or, "She's a bit crazy looking." So I made stuff, and we had young designers make stuff for us, and there were a few designers that were really into her from the beginning, like Alexander McQueen and Miuccia Prada. And that was how many years ago? Now, it's like [as a performer] you have to have a designer making stuff for you for the red carpet. And I love it. We're all one giant industry working on entertainment and fashion and technology.

Quite undeniable.

Gaga unarguably has influenced popstar fashion since wearing the Kermit outfit. The meat dress cemented her place!

 he should comback with Gaga for LG4

God I wish he would go back to working with Gaga.

Since he left, she kind of lost the fashion edge that set her apart from the pop crowd.
