Nicola Formichetti Styles Gaga And... Bieber?

For their most recent magazine covers, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber were styled by Nicola Formichetti, and photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. It's no surprise that Formichetti styled Gaga for her L'Uomo Vogue cover, as the two are great friends and work together constantly, but Justin Bieber's V Magazine cover is a bit unexpected. I'm glad Nicola is now working with other big celebrities, because he is usually seen as Gaga's stylist and that's it, but in reality, he is so much more than that. He is a talented stylist, creative director, fashion director, and designer. He pushes boundaries, and I am a huge fan of all of his work, not just his work with Gaga, and it's time for him to get some more recognition for it.

The photos of Lady Gaga, looking a bit bionic, are beautiful. Formichetti's styling is fabulous. This issue of L'Uomo is out now. 

On the other hand, Justin Bieber's styling for V Magazine is a bit toned down for Nicola Formichetti. The photos are good, but a bit of a let down. I'm still glad that the two worked together, and I hope they continue to in the future. For the cover, Justin Bieber is styled in Dolce & Gabbana. The rest of the photos? Head to toe Mugler. But of course, none of the most exciting pieces were selected for Bieber. This music issue of V will be available January 12th.
