Just in case there are those who believe that Lady Gaga’s fashion sense is over the top and not only that, but you think that it can never be appreciated by mainstream fashion, think again! The stylist behind Lady Gaga’s larger-than-life stage look is taking over as creative director for Thierry Mugler’s ready-to-wear lines. This stylist is none other than 33 year-old Nicolas Formichetti. As Joel Palix, the chairman of Clarins Fragrance Group and director general of Thierry Mugler said, “Formichetti was a perfect fit, as a ‘major actor of contemporary pop culture’, with a rich multicultural background and a skill set ranging from ‘fashion to public relations, image and entertainment’.” (The Sun, September 17, 2010, p 22).
Formichetti was born in Japan and brought up between Tokyo and Rome, and he works as stylist for a range of brands including the Japanese high-street giant Uniqlo, and as editor for fashion magazines from Dazed and Confused to Vogue. In an interview with New York Fashion on June 16, 2009, Formchetti described his personal style as “Prada mixed with Uniqlo” (Webpage http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/06/post_13.html).
And to a question as to how he could gauge what Lady Gaga would like, he replied: “It needs to be something no one's seen before, something that's a bit tongue-in-cheek and outrageous. And maybe some people would really hate it. That's what I love about her – it’s very similar to my work” (ibid).
In the Europa League, Liverpool won by a comfortable 4-1 margin. Joe Cole steered in a shot only 27 seconds in after pouncing on a poor back pass by Steaua Bucharest’s Octavian Abrudan. The Romanian team equalized when Cristian Tanase chipped over on-rushing keeper Pepe Reina (13) but a David Ngog penalty restored the Reds' lead (56). And then, a stunning Lucas Leiva 22-yard strike (81) and a late angled Ngog effort (90+1) completed the Reds’ victory.
