After much deliberation and rumours it has been confirmed that Nicola Formichetti will be appointed the Creative Director at Thierry Mugler. The fashion director of Japan's Men's Vogue will take over from Rosemary Rodriguez who assisted in reviving the line a few seasons back. Formichetti who is also best known for styling Lady Gaga will head a strong creative team but whether he has the savvy required to do this is yet to be seen. It's one  thing styling a collection for shoots and its a whole new ball game when the pressure is on you to deliver collections that sell and make a difference to the brand's bottom line. Formichetti said in a press release issued by Mugler that, "Thierry Mugler is about the power of glamour and walking straight into the future", and we certainly hope its not about creating fashion only to be worn by Lady Gaga. The talk in Paris is that people will be paying to look like the over the top star with Formichetti at the helm of Mugler.
