Alexander Mcqueen Alien Shoes

Nicola Formichetti, the 34-year-old stylist turned designer responsible for ordaining Lady Gaga a high priestess of the fashion world and subsequently masterminding her awe-inspiring look both on and off stage, would like to point out that the iconic pop star, though a best friend and ongoing collaborator, is not actually his muse. “My muse is the digital world,” Formichetti says, settling into a black leather sofa to watch the final edit of a video he created with Gaga and the famed fashion photography team of Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for his second Paris women’s fashion show as creative director at the house of Mugler.
