Lady Gaga released her highly-anticipated music video for “Disease”, the lead single off LG7. The music video was directed by Tanu Muino and features some looks styled by power stylist duo HARDSTYLE (Nick Royal & Peri Rosenzweig) which served up twisted fashion fantasy that was equal parts glamorous and grotesque. Hair by Frederic Aspiras, makeup by Sarah Tanno-Stewart and nails by Miho Okawara. For the opening look, we get to see Gaga in a lush black long wig and a quite innocent-looking vintage 1970s cotton floral mini dress which was sourced at Replika Vintage in LA! We meet Gaga‘s demonic alter-ego, clad in an all-black ensemble inspired by plague doctors. What many people missed is that this super complex look changed approximately 3 times in the video, with layers and accessories added and removed. She wears a black silk taffeta gown with wired constructions sticking out, and a feathered headpiece from another look – all from young French designer Charles de Vilmorin‘s Fall/W
It's no secret that Nicola Formichetti is one very busy man. There's his work at Diesel, of course; the post-Gaga design for Uniqlo; not to mention styling for everyone from Dazed & Confused, to V and Vogue Homme Japan, where the Tokyo native serves as fashion director. Formichetti's most personal work is Nicopanda, the rebel, street-driven kawaii line of Formichetti-branded collectables (think nylon baseball caps with panda ears). Yesterday in Tribeca, Formichetti introduced his first complete Nicopanda collection. "I wanted to figure out a full fashion collection, but still Nicopanda—so I wanted to make it very cute," he told reporters. "I believe it's Harajuku sportswear." The collection features an all-unisex, 32-piece ("68 if you count all the colors") assortment of neoprene, ruffle-lined white overshirts, black mesh-lace "tutu" shorts, and baby pink and white caps with pearls hanging from each side. &q
