We write a lot about photographers, but we should not forget that the Stylist is also a really important role in a photoshoot ! When we speak about Stylists we HAVE to review Nicola Formichetti ! His style and work are just so unique ! Nicola was born in Japan in 1977 to an Italian father and a Japanese mother and grew up between these two countries; currently living between London, New York and Tokyo. His unique style is a result of a big mix of internationally eclectic/ modern and traditional / Eastern and European influences. Side by Side he has recently been appointed the position of Fashion Director of  new Condé Nast magazine: Vogue Hommes Japan, working as the main fashion consultant for Japanese high-street brand Uniqlo and as an editor on several of the biggest fashion magazines ( Dazed, Another Man, V, V Man, Arena Homme and Vogue Hommes Japan). Formichetti is also closely involved with the entire process as consultant for a number of leading fashion brands (McQueen, Prada, D&G, Gareth Pugh…), working on their image, business strategy, marketing processes or simply styling the campaigns.  Damn what a Resume !! Nicola is definitely THE Stylist to hire on the market. He shoots with the biggest photographers ( Terry Richardson, Mario Testino, Hedi Slimane…) and dresses the most desirable Models and Celebrities… Just have a look to his portfolio, you wont believe it ! Also check his Blog nicolaformichetti.blogspot.com for daily news, B-roll and insider stories…

Nicola is also an avid blogger (nicolaformichetti.blogspot.com ) and uses the Internet as a way of researching new ideas, whether they are for photoshoots or the store that he owns in Tokyo…
