He met her in 2009 at "The Beauty Issue of V shot by Sebastian Faena". While he was working with Lady Gaga he was often accompanied by two assistants; Anna Trevelyan and Brandon Ma)(well. A big step for him was when he used his name to secure clothes for Gaga, which many designers are re luctant to do. He had his first ever collaboration with Lady Gaga at the "Much Music Video Awards" in 2009. He became part of the "Haus of Gaga" and was one out of three most well known members.
September 2010 he was announced to be the new creative director of the "Thietty Mugler brand" now know and just "Mugler"ln a ten year period between 2001 to 2011 Nicola worked with many fashion houses and brands. He was the soon to release his own fashion line and a pop- up boutique in Manhatten's Tribeca District.
Nicola Formichetti finds his inspiration from many places and people. The main way he finds his inspiration is by travel ling and visiting new places. People that inspire him are his friends, other designers, photographer and posts from people on Facebook and Tumblr. He also fi nds inspiration in his huge toy collection.

He first realised http://fashion-designers-info.blogspot.com.auI2007 /12Iakira-isogawa-australian his work was getting recognition when he spotted Naomi Campell fashion.html wearing one of his dresses on the front cover of a magazine. By the late 1990's his reputation had built up and he was quite well known by other designers. 1996 was a big break for him as her showed his first ever collection which he got great responses from, in particular Joan Burstein. Joan Burstein was from 'BROWNS' who are famous for discovering many successful designers. The company like his work so much they bought the whole collection.
By 1997 to 1999 his second collection was being reviled. It was a spring/ summer range called 'Satori collection' meaning sudden enlightenment. This collection had favourable reviews from many sources of the media for example 'New York Times' . A new collection was released in 1998, it was a spring/ summer range called' Botanica collection. This was his first private showing in Paris.
1998 he took his career to a new level by collaborating with the Sydney dance company. 1999 was a high in his career as he won the designer of the year award from the Australian Fashion Industry Award s.in 2005 he became so well know that he was awarded by the Austra lian post, he was named an Australian ledgend and his face was put on a stamp.
His brands are now found all over the world and are retailed in fourteen countries. He has two boutiques in Sydney, one in Melbourne and one in Brisbane
He has now also worked with the Australian ballet in September 2011 designing costumes for Graeme Murphy productions.
Hes designs often strongly resemble his Japanese heritage and different places as when he is travelling he gets inspired by the different types of fashions and styles
I really like this designer as it shows unique designs that are effective yet still appropriate for the role or envi ronment that they will be seen and or displayed in . For example the costumes for Australian Ballet ;Romeo [image removed to protect and Juliet' shows soft yet striking designs that suit the copyright] story line well.

Harlequin:
• Bright colours stand out (red, white and black) • The simple diamond design on the front is sharp and effective but it also portrays the character well • It has no tricky fasteners which makes it easy for quick changes for the dances • Material: all is elasticized, stretchy leotard with a light floaty red skirt underneath that will bounce making movement look bigger • Lots of detail but still kept simple, for example the arm sleeves with the same pattern on the front adding uniqueness • This character was of high energy so the stretch materials made it easy to move. • For the other characters that share the stage this costume stood out as it was designed too as it was bright bouncy and glittery. • The contrast on the diamond pattern with the black and white are striking as they take up a large portion of the costume • Other harlequin costumes I have seen in my research I don't believe they are as successful as they have too much detail it is too distracting. • Minimal sequins and bead as a lot of partner work was required and you didn't want to get attached.
Orange Jazz Dress:
• Bright orange colour stands out on stage with lights • Sequins add sparkle that will look really effective with movement • Clear straps give the impression of a strapless dress but ensures it will stay up • It has a frilly skirt that looks effective with movement and turning in particular • This dress has no fasteners that can get caught or be a hindrance when trying to change with minimal time • As this was a jazz dance it was of high energy and movement so the stretch material it is made of causes no restrictions • The gathers at the side provide for extra movement extra detail in the dress and gives the body a good shape. • The length of this dress is a good length that it can't be knelt on in floor work • The head piece adds extra interest and also hold hair back
