Fashion Director is a title inside the Haus of Gaga. The term is not to be confused as stylist.
“ | I hate the term “stylist.” [...] I’ve always seen myself as an art director—someone whose job it is to create moods, oversee an overall image. [...] I love everything about fashion, so when I get labeled as a stylist—one tiny part of that world—it really pisses me off. | ” |
—Nicola Formichetti |
The first Fashion Director became Nicola Formichetti since the MuchMusic Video Awards of 2009. Before that, Matthew Williams and Lady Gaga took care of all the creative decisions.
