Parisian fashion house Thierry Mugler announced late last night that its artistic director, Nicola Formichetti, is leaving the brand after two years. The label had brought him on to re-energize the brand, and that’s just what he did—pal and styling client Lady Gaga sashayed down the runway for his debut collection and just this year, he teamed up with Shopbop to offer a limited-edition handbag covered in his drawings of panda bears and squiggly monsters. “I was kind of an anti-wearable person before, and now I want my girls to wear things,” Formichetti told InStyle.com at the bag’s launch of his approach to design. We’ll be keeping an eye out for where he heads next—especially in his work with new client Kim Kardashian. Update: Diesel has announced that Formichetti has been tapped as the brand’s new artistic director. “I finally met somebody as crazy as I am,” Renzo Rosso, founder of Diesel, said in a statement. “Nicola shares my vision and I find it incredibly inspiring to work with him: with his help, I want to break more rules and bring the real Diesel to a new generation.” Nicola’s first project: the #DieselReboot initiative, which aims to gather inspiration from young people around the globe. Head to the brand’s Tumblr to check it out.

Dallas was back with a new episode last night! And with Ann (Brenda Strong) on trial, everyone whipped out the smart courthouse fashions—including Sue Ellen (Linda Gray, here with Josh Henderson as John Ross Ewing), who paid homage to the time of the original Dallas series with an ’80s-inspired skirt suit. “I re-worked the shoulders on this classic Thierry Mugler suit for Sue Ellen to give it a modern edge,” costume designer Rachel Sage Kunin told InStyle.com. “It is a nod to the 1980s power suit with an updated, rounded shoulder. The gold metal ornaments on the suit, along with the 15-carat diamond studs she’s wearing, makes this an extraordinary Sue Ellen statement outfit.” Indeed it does!

Nicola Formichetti Designs Limited-Edition Bag for Shopbop

Feb 6, 2013 @ 4:28 pm

Thierry Mugler artistic director Nicola Formichetti—and stylist to stars like Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashiandesigned a limited-edition of Muglerette bag for shopbop.com, and it’s now available. “I was kind of an anti-wearable person before, and now I want my girls to wear things,” Formichetti told InStyle.com of the bag’s design. “I’ve started really looking at girls again. Not like Gaga and Beyoncé, but real girls.” Formichetti said that the limited-edition bag (only 20 were made!) was inspired by the core DNA of the Mugler brand. “The hardware was inspired from the body armor of the Mugler dresses. So it’s kind of like a mini Mugler museum.” Each graffiti-splattered bag ($1,945) features a slightly different illustration by Nicola, making them all unique. Head to shopbop.com to take a closer look.

Lady Gaga’s Stylist Nicola Formichetti Is Dressing Kim Kardashian Now: Here’s Why He Loves Her So Much

Feb 6, 2013 @ 11:09 am

Lady Gaga’s longtime stylist, Nicola Formichetti, has his hands on a new project—and he’s super excited about it. “I started working with Kim Kardashian recently,” the Thierry Mugler artistic director—who revived the Parisian house in 2010—told InStyle.com at the New York launch of his Muglerette bags for Shopbop.com. “Kanye [West] introduced us. For me, she’s so important. I’m feeling the same excitement I had when I first met Gaga.” Those are big words from the stylist who has honed Gaga’s image from the very beginning, and even had Mother Monster walk in the Mugler runway show in 2011. “I love Kim because she’s really raw. I would love to make her into a modern-day Marilyn Monroe,” Formichetti continued. “She kind of symbolizes the modern-day girl. She has a different body structure, different skin tone, and she likes very sexy things. She’s not a model, and that excites me.” So will we see Kim rocking the avant-garde style Gaga has become so known for? Yes, and she already has thanks to Kanye’s influence. I feel like I can make Kim a little bit more conceptual, but not in a Gaga kind of way,” Formichetti said. “In a year’s time, people will beg for her.” Even while she’s pregnant, Formichetti hopes to craft her maternity style: “So exciting!” he gushed. Big aspirations!

Thierry Mugler’s Angel Perfume Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Jan 31, 2013 @ 8:30 am

Happy 20th birthday, Angel! It seems like only yesterday when we were first introduced to Thierry Mugler’s iconic Angel fragrance, which was one of the first to incorporate gourmand notes like honey, chocolate, and caramel. To celebrate Angel’s milestone year, we caught up with the scent’s spokesperson Eva Mendes to find out what the perfume means to her. “Thierry Mugler’s Angel embodies a universal femininity that stands on its own,” said Mendes, who used to borrow the perfume from her sisters growing up. “I know a lot of women who have been loyal to the fragrance for many years, so I’ve been a fan since I was very young. When Angel was first introduced, it was bold and daring and it’s easy to understand why it is still one of the most popular fragrances in the world.” Shop the classic for $72 at muglerstoreusa.com.

It’s really nostalgic for me! Mugler was definitely a big name in our household when I was a kid.” The Angel Eau de Toilette launches in August, and is a lighter, airier version of the classic scent.
