Okay, so today I wanted to share my deep dive into, like, the world of Nicola Formichetti. You know, the guy is a total icon, so I thought, why not try to understand his style a bit better, maybe even incorporate some of it into my own stuff?
First thing I did was just a straight-up Google search, right? “Nicola Formichetti style.” I wanted to see what the internet thought his defining characteristics were. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, interviews, and photos – you know, the usual. Started to pick up on some key themes: bold colors, crazy silhouettes, mixing high fashion with street style, and always pushing boundaries. Got it.
Next step was diving into his actual work. I spent a good chunk of time looking at his stuff for Lady Gaga – all the iconic looks, from the meat dress to, like, everything else during that era. Then I checked out his work with Mugler. Totally different vibe, but still undeniably him. Super futuristic, very structured, but with this undercurrent of, like, raw energy. It was cool to see how he adapted his style to different artists and brands.
Alright, so I had a general idea. Time to get specific. I decided to focus on one particular outfit that really stood out to me: a look from one of the Mugler shows, I think. It was this crazy mix of leather, mesh, and neon colors, with, like, super sharp angles and a really strong silhouette. I screenshotted a bunch of different angles, just to get a feel for the construction and the overall effect.
Now, I’m no fashion designer, okay? But I do like to, you know, mess around with clothes and try to put together interesting outfits. So, I went through my own closet and tried to find pieces that had a similar vibe. Found a leather jacket, some ripped jeans, a bright-colored t-shirt. Nothing was quite right, but it was a starting point.
Then I started thinking about accessories. Formichetti is all about the accessories. So I grabbed some chunky jewelry, a weird-looking hat I had lying around, and these crazy platform boots that I never wear. I started throwing things together, layering, experimenting. It was a total mess, but that’s kind of the point, right?
I spent, like, a solid two hours just trying on different combinations, tweaking things, and taking pictures. Some of it was awful, I’m not gonna lie. But some of it was actually kind of interesting. I ended up with this outfit that was, like, a very loose interpretation of the Mugler look. It wasn’t a direct copy or anything, but it had a similar kind of energy. It was bold, a little bit weird, and definitely not something I would normally wear.
The most important thing I learned was that it’s all about taking risks and not being afraid to experiment. Formichetti’s style is all about pushing boundaries and challenging expectations. And that’s something I can definitely apply to my own style, even if I’m not rocking a meat dress anytime soon.
So yeah, that was my little Nicola Formichetti experiment. It was fun, it was challenging, and it definitely got me thinking about fashion in a different way. Maybe I’ll try another designer next week. Who knows?
