Lady Gaga collaborates with Thierry Mugler
She’s already lending her musical talents to friend and stylist Nicola Formichetti’s debut menswear show for Thierry Mugler, and now it’s been revealed that Lady Gaga is set to have an even bigger role in the creation of his first womenswear collection to debut on 1 March during Paris Fashion Week.
Formichetti, Gaga’s London-based stylist and new creative director of Mugler (formerly Thierry Mugler), has revealed how he’s working closely with the outlandish singer on the fashion house’s upcoming womenswear collection, even though there’s no official collaboration.
“It’s me and her just having fun and getting very inspired by the idea of Mugler,” he told WWD. “She’s very much involved, more in the early stages,” he added.
Formichetti recently confirmed that Gaga will be the musical director of his first menswear show, taking place tonight during Menswear Fashion Week in Paris, which will use a musical soundtrack based on a previously unheard track from the singer’s eagerly anticipated new album, Born This Way.
“When I heard it, I said, ‘That’s Mugler’. She’s remixing it especially for the show,” Formichetti explains. “It’s very, very hard, but pop at the same time. It’s really amazing.”
And Formichetti, who has also created custom-made Mugler costumes for the pop star’s album artwork, videos and live performances ahead of the album’s release on 23 May, has even more treats in store for his and Gaga’s fans. A video of visuals and sound from the unveiling of his debut menswear collection for Mugler will be streamed tomorrow at 6pm via the label's website, so you can take a look (and a listen) for yourself.
“I want to make sure her fans have a front row seat,” he said.
Can’t wait.
