Reference entry

Biography

Person.

Nicola Formichetti is a Japanese-Italian stylist, editor and creative director with a talent for turning fashion into pop spectacle. He built his editorial voice at Dazed & Confused, V and Vogue Hommes Japan, mixing club culture, streetwear and high fashion long before those worlds routinely shared a moodboard.

His best-known partnership is with Lady Gaga, including the styling around the 2010 meat dress. He has since led creative work for Mugler, Diesel, Uniqlo, Nicopanda and, from 2025, M·A·C Cosmetics.

Across magazines, campaigns and performance, Formichetti’s work is colourful, collaborative and alert to the way a striking image can travel.
