The Asia Fashion Exchange 2012, into its third year now, was held from May 16th to the 20th. This year, labels Mugler’s creative director Nicola Formichetti walked the stage with designer Thierry Mugler in Singapore last week for their Audi Fashion Festival Opening Show of Mugler A/W 2012.


Nicola Formichetti (35) is also on his Asian tour, which has taken him to Beijing for the launching of Nicola Formichetti’s Nicopanda. Nicola Formichetti sat down for an interview and discussed the trajectory of Formichetti’s career—from his early years, on meeting and working with Lady Gaga [Lady Gaga’s meat dress, anyone?] to creative director of Mugler, and his favorite groups, 2NE1 and Big Bang.

Nicola Formichetti was born in Shizuoka, Japan to a Japanese mother and Italian Father.

Q: As an Asian and a European, what do you know about Korea…

NF: “I’m a huge fan of Big Bang and 2NE1. I can even sing 2NE1’s songs. Just this morning, I listened to 2NE1’s “Scream” and Big Bang’s “Fantastic Baby”. (Takes out his iPhone and shows us the playback list.) This is a secret, but I might work with 2NE1 in the future.”

(omitted non 2NE1-related)

*NOTE: Nicola Formichetti is most widely known as the new creative director for the French fashion house MUGLER, and for being a frequent collaborator with singer-songwriter and performance artist Lady Gaga. Formichetti is also known as fashion director of Vogue Hommes Japan, is a contributing editor of several other fashion magazines, and is fashion director for the clothing company Uniqlo.

I have nothing against him, I mean the guy obviously knows how to keep Gaga in news, but I hope he won't work with 2NE1 as I want their style to stay very different from Gaga's.

I hope not, I really dislike what he is doing at Mugler.
He was at the Big Bang concert too (with my gurl Kiko).

I've been disliking Mugler more and more since he took over. Ugh

LOL, this is going to be good, 2NE1 have already been accused of having similarity's to Lady Gaga in terms of fashion. It's going to be interesting to see if he just tweaks what they already do, change their style completely or just adapts more of Lady Gaga's style for them.

"I can even sing 2NE1’s songs."

YOU HAVE FLAWFREE TASTE, FORMICHETTI

... but I sincerely hope "Ugly" is not part of your playlist.

It's cool that 2NE1 and Big Bang are getting all this attention but I really hope they stick with their original creative teams (stylists, producers, stage designers etc-- graphic designers can go tho) because they are meticulous and most familiar with what they and us fans want. Short time collaborations/projects are ok but I hope these big names won't take over.

what r y'all resenting this for.. 2ne1 dress like jeremy scott just ejaculated all over them then spraypainted them they look awful most of the time. it's good if they went in a new direction with their look especially by someone who knows what he's doing

I wish they'd highlight Korean designers. Do like Michelle Obama did and give some lesser known designers the publicity.
