Destructive Designer Shoots

Nicola Formichetti in Dazed & Confused Plays Off of Dark Shades

From reviving the name of the Mugler line to working as Lady Gaga's personal designer and stylist, the Nicola Formichetti in Dazed & Confused feature shows the dark side of the infamous designer's emotions. The photo shoot by Matt Irwin for the United Kingdom magazine lets this designer show his cool and bad boy behavior in only a couple of snaps.

Nicola Formichetti sports a black rounded neck t-shirt with a black leather jacket laying on top to give a high end fashion appeal to the shoot. The intensive stare by the designer combined with the 'Formichetti' labeled hat makes this shoot one to talk about. In true Matt Irwin style, the photo shoot invokes emotion and plays off of the current stigmas surrounding the fashion world.
