Ummm… Nicola Formichetti is the CD for Mugler, the Fashion Director for Vogue Hommes Japan, and Lady Gaga’s stylist? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/20/fashion/20iht-rmug20.html?_r=2&emc=tnt&tntemail1=y
“Lately I’ve really been in a strange place- at least outfit wise. I wear black, all the time (not even charcoal or navy things, just black). I have these Mossimo long sleeve crew neck shirts from Target (about 40 identical) and I wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY. I feel paralyzed without them.. but I am sick of looking like I’m heading to a funeral. The other day someone asked…are you a cleaning lady??… There are people who are lazy about getting dressed up, and then there are people like me who’ve reached a new plateau of laziness, I’m even starting to feel ashamed about the way I look. There are women who HAVE a good excuse for looking like a slob, most of them have just given birth or are child-rearing. Not me! I mean, I keep saying to myself..’pull it together and put some makeup on, even if it’s so you don’t offend other people!’ I knew I needed nice pieces that were pulled together, pieces that I didn’t have to think about so much in those painful morning hours, clothes that were COMFORTABLE and anti-fussy…..but at the same time the thought of shopping was a nightmare. All I want to buy is Alaia and I can’t afford it..I had to design and make my own reality…”

“In the end, I think the most important thing to recognize is that we’re now living in a world of excess. Excess data, excess access, excess “stuff.” Our behavior and mindset should change accordingly. The discussions we have should not be about consuming less or having more, but rather “What is better?” and “What is appropriate?”
