I know you all have heard of Nicola Formichetti . . . right?! I mean being a top designer for Mugler, and Lady Gaga’s right-hand-man is no small feat, but with how active this man is on tumblr, instagram and facebook, we’re all practically BFF’s!
 
Just to catch you up, I’ve posted some awesome Nicola eye-candy, but with a collection of high-powered gifs, tons of behind-the-scenes photos and the current nicopanda challenge, you’ve got to check out this guy’s tumblr. So cool!

Haus of Gaga: Who's Behind it All?

Music | 06 September 2011

by

We all know that Lady Gaga is more than just a singer/songwriter; she’s a performer. Plucking her favorite elements from the realms of dance, electronics, fashion, performance art, and the media, her over-the-top image has been built from her collaborations in all of these areas. 
 
In 2008 Gaga put together a round table of artists and designers to weld together her ideas into everything that is Gaga today. This she calls her Haus of Gaga!
 
Who are they and what part do they play? Well let’s see!
 
This gorgeous orb headpiece was designed by Nasir Mazhar, but was given to Gaga by her Fashion Director, Nicola Formichetti. Chief stylist, director (whatever you want to call him) Formichetti is the man who was integral in gettting pieces from big-time designers when Gaga was still on the incline.
 
 
Gaga’s infamous Disco Stick has been re-created in several formats, and is a manifestation by haus member Matthew Williams. As well as one of Gaga’s ex-lovers, Williams was the Creative Director for Haus of Gaga from it’s beginnings in 2008 until 2010 (they call him Dada).
 
 
 Laurieann Gibson is the gorgeous choreographer that’s been stomping together moves for Lady Gaga since 2008. She currently serves as the Creative Director for the Haus of Gaga and even moved up to full-fledged Director for Gaga’s newest video ”Yoü and I”. If you haven’t seen the video yet, see it here!

Monster Fashion Attack: Lady Gaga as Musical Director for the Thierry Mugler Fall 2011 Fashion Show

Fashion | 20 January 2011

This monster fashion attack is hot off the press and already taken over the fashion world!

The collaboration of Lady Gaga as musical director for the Thierry Mugler Fall 2011 fashion show that opened Paris’s Menswear Fashion Week has spurred an instant fashion craze. Mugler is now under the creative direction of Lady Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti. This development might just be the most viral one in fashion history and may manage to throw this avant garde brand into the sphere of public knowledge with a new, shortened name, Mugler.

The collaboration for the video and newest collection included Romain Kremer another designer, the photgrapher and filmmaker Mariano Vivanco and a model, named Rico, who is covered in skeletal tattoos. This video reveals Lady Gaga’s mix including one of her songs for her newest album, Born This Way, not yet released.

Watch the video and remember that this line, this brand, is not for the faint of fashion heart. This is a brand created around the bizarre that has historically dealt with the utmost of fashion divas. In a desperate attempt to stay afloat in times where many fashion brands are going under, Formichetti utilized a genius marketing campaign to breathe new life into a the dying art of avant garde fashion. Even if it is a little creepy, I think it did the trick.

Did the Gaga & Formichetti collaboration work its wonders on you or just freak you out?

Who is Jo Calderone?

Celebrity | 26 August 2010

Jo Calderone is a mechanic from Sicily. He hopes to own his own car shop and has never had his picture taken…until now.

 You can find Jo on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, due to release early September.
 
With a slick, Elvis Presley hairdo and tough-boy expression, it’s easy to glance over his similarities to a famous pop diva.
 
Any Gaga guesses who he could be?
 
 
 
 
 
 
Just in case my blatant hint didn’t give it away, there is much speculation that this handsome Italian is the alter ego of Lady Gaga herself. What do you think?
