Kim Kardashian Gets Styled By Nicola Formichetti, Still Looks Like A Kardashian In Elle

Just because Kim Kardashian is gestating a baby doesn’t mean she’s going to get fat or take any time off from the spotlight. For the March issue of Elle US, a lightly pregnant Kim Kardashian got all done up by none other than Nicola Formichetti, who is best known for being Lady Gaga‘s stylist. While some of the outfits he put her in were interesting, strangely constructed couture, he couldn’t resist including at least a couple of Kim’s more “iconic” looks in there. To be fair, she looks hot in all of them. Whether her glow comes from her tiny Kanye baby or the knowledge that cameras are present, I cannot say. More »

Nicola Formichetti Claims Not To Hate Fat People

Nicola Formichetti Claims Not To Hate Fat People

A lot of people grew cross with Nicola Formichetti yesterday when a W interview came out in which he said he refuses to style fat people.

Lady Gaga's Stylist Nicola Formichetti Won't Work With Fat People

Thierry Mugler’s creative director (who is probably much more famous stateside as the Man Who Dresses Lady Gaga) just made a statement he’ll hopefully regret soon to W. Formichetti described styling a rock band and how it was the last time he worked with fat people. He didn’t offer much insight into why working with “three fat guys” was “so ghetto” but apparently it was way less fun and glamorous than working with models and non-fat people. Brace yourselves.

Editorials: Zombie Boy Lands A Cover Spread In Fashion Magazine

Nicola Formichetti’s Thierry Mugler muse Rick Genest–”Zombie Boy” as the fashion press has taken to affectionately nicknaming him–landed an ed (and accompanying cover) in Polish glossy Fashion shot by Mateusz Stankiewicz. Genest is, after all, repped by one of the best of the best agencies (Ford) and the photos are pretty striking… not just on account of his full body ink. He may have more staying power than we’d expect from an unknown found via Facebook with head-to-toe tattoos and no modeling experience. More »
