bxr 1,016 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 ⚡️ Fashion Week - Lady Gaga at Paris Fashion Week | The New York Times In Paris, Suzy Menkes interviews singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, who modeled two dresses for the designer Thierry Mugler at Fashion Week. “… The collaboration between Lady Gaga and Nicola Formichetti is rejuvenating the brand of Mugler; and when Lady Gaga walked the runway in the Paris collection, it caused a moment of tension and excitement …” Spoiler Suzy Menkes: Nicola, your great moment was tonight, for Thierry Mugler. So, you designed the collection and, what, your friend — Nicola: My best friend, yeah, collaborator … Menkes: Did you collaborate on the collection, or was it the collaboration of style and presentation … ? Nico: No, from the beginning, you know, from the start of the collection, when we … You know, it’s like when we do everything, right? Gaga: Y’know, I don’t want Nicola to give me credit for anything because he’s so sweet … but, to be honest, just quite naturally, my collaboration with Nicola on the clothes is the same as his collaboration with me on the music, just really close, and we’re both really creative; we’ve spent a lot of time together. So, we share ideas all the time, and it’s not business related, it’s just purely artistic — and I’m so proud of what he created. Menkes: But you’re both much too young to know Thierry Mugler — what he meant, back in the 1980s … LG: No. Nico: No, we’re not *laughs* LG: No. *Wag / points index finger* That is where you are wrong … Nico: *hearty laughter* LG: Mugler is, was, was and is my lifestyle. What Nicola represents is my lifestyle. So much about my new album is about how this culture — of glamour, of life, as a glamorous life as your bones and your blood — this part of who I am, and that culture is not dead. Nicola represents all of that. Menkes: And is the idea that these clothes are transformative; that they change the lives of people the way, the way they dress — the eye make-up, the everything … ? LG: I thought with the models, today — Nico: They just became, just, so … uber-humanly. Didn’t they? LG: They just … y’know, besides the fact that they became superstars when they put the clothes on — y’know, I was at the fitting with all the girls and watching them all … Nico: They were just having fun… LG: As soon as they put the clothes on — as women — you could just tell they felt really sexy and really beautiful and really fierce. Menkes: And Nicola, tell me, you had this guy in the show that you also had an in the men’s Mugler line — Nico: Rico! Menkes: — with the tattoos, absolutely all over; where did you find him? Nico: I found him on Facebook, actually; and I just went: “ohmygod” — and I showed it to [Gaga], and she was like [mouth agape] LG: — “ohmygod” Nico: *laughs* LG: He’s truly amazing; and, it’s also a testament to the integrity of Nicola and, again, his lack of pretension as a designer in the fashion world. Rico was, not where he is now, and Nicola plucked him from where he was and helped him to move forward with his career … and it really makes me just think about the good nature of people in a different way. Nicola’s just a really good person, and it’s amazing to have someone like that in fashion. Nico: Thank you, thank you Menkes: Because a lot of this Thierry Mugler revival is all about, the fragrance; do you think, Lady Gaga, you will ever have a fragrance of your own? LG: I do have one coming out. Menkes: Can you tell us about that? What’s it going to smell of? LG: It’s actually, it’s a smell of many different things — Nico: *laughs* LG: I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say that I took a sample of my own blood — and extracted the molecular structure, and the scent of that — and injected it into the perfume … so that it would, smell like, and feel like… me. Menkes: Is fashion, should fashion, be all about performance? LG & Nico: *extended pensive pause* Nico: *deep inhale* Hmm … LG: *pensive stare nowhere in particular* LG & Nico: *deep exhale, pensive pause, simultaneous inhale* No. LGN: *Hearty chuckle, hug* LG: (to Nicola) I love you … . (to Menkes) No. Fashion can mean anything. It’s about self-expression. It’s about freedom … Nico: Love. LG: Love. Togetherness … [fades into “Born This Way” bridge] Menkes: Lady Gaga and Nicola, thank you so much for talking to the International Herald Tribune and New York Times. Nico: Thank you. LG: Thank you — and you can’t buy Mugler, because I bought the whole collection already *satisfied snicker* Nico: *laughter of approval* [fades into “Born This Way” chorus] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 8,535 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I LOVE this era and this interview, she's clearly tipsy. But appointing Nicola to Mugler was such a big deal, and tbh while the collection was pretty much panned by critics, I thought it was so fresh and modern, and really paid tribute to Thierry as well. I actually was shopping the Real Real the other day, and found a runway sample of those insane platform shoes (in my size ) for literally 10% of their worth and purchased.
