Who better to have as a muse than Lady Gaga? Her clothes are incredible and completely outrageous and her style is unlike anyone else's. Realistically, whoever uses her as a muse is delivering some of the most innovative pieces yet.

This person's name is Nicola Formichetti, and his name is not one to forget. He has lured me in with his outrageous fashions and has shown me what true creativity looks like.

Formichetti's story is one of luck and talent. Being encouraged to pursue piano, and being raised between Tokyo and Rome, he fell deeply in love with London. Using any excuse to get himself there, he applied to a school of architecture. Later, after being accepted, he explained that he "literally walked in the front door of the architecture school and then ran out of the back one to go clubbing for three years."

After one job led to another and he began meeting new people, he became acquainted with Lady Gaga. She named him her stylist and it was love at first sight.

As they began working together, Formichetti was pulling crazy outfits for all her public appearances — whether it was Leno or the MTV Video Music awards, he was always there for her. And when they heard of an opening at the fashion house of Thierry Mugler, she encouraged him to go for what he wanted.

Formichetti has been spitting out ridiculous designs for us: using Lady Gaga as a model and showing us all her bits and parts, and using sheer fabrics and wires to shape headdresses and body pieces, he helps uncover the woman's body and uses prehistoric inspirations to create a sense of emotion.

Personally my favourite thing about Formichetti is the fact that he isn't scared. He uses architectural shapes to create interest and colours to create appeal. I like that he's unconventional and uses Lady Gaga-like designs to attract customers. He shies away from the norm and delivers crazy looks. One of the elements I never see in fashion is blatant sex appeal. With boobs pressed up against knit mesh and glorified body parts, he shows us that we shouldn't be frightened of fashion.

His Japanese and Italian upbringings are very predominant in his designs and wacky creations. The aesthetic is out there and very wild like the Tokyo fashion scene, and the technical aspect of construction is divine. He also defies the fashion rules by doing things such as using leathers to cowl and lamé to make floor-length robes. Using bright brocades, he makes work suits; using studs, he creates religious and controversial symbols. His clothes look like they belong in a vintage store because they are so farfetched that they couldn't possibly be from today.

In essence, I wanted to remind you of what fashion is and what it should be. It shouldn't be walking into a store and buying because you like the brand name, it should be more than that. It should be a connection between the design and the outrage. It should be partially about what others see when they look at you. Don't get confused — I'm not talking about being selfconscious and wondering — I'm talking about making a statement and standing your ground.
