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.
