Don’t call Nicola Formichetti, of Lady GaGa clout, a celebrity stylist.
Though he works with GaGa, he says,
“There’s way too much celebrity in fashion. I don’t really like working with celebrities, so I try to stay away from that whole machine. But of course, I have met some incredibly nice and creatively people who just have to be a ‘celebrity.'”
When it comes to GaGa, though, she doesn’t fall into this category:
“I first met her at a photo shoot for V Magazine. It was instant love. I had always stayed away from celebrity and musicians before, but she was so different. Instantly we understood each other completely. We started working naturally – all the videos, shows, tours, etc.”
Together, the two have made some serious style statements and created some iconic fashion moments. Glad it was love at first sight!
