For Nicola Formichetti’s debut catwalk presentation as creative director of Mugler expectations were high. Formichetti, who’s cv includes fashion director of Vogue Japan and high street chain Uniqlo, is perhaps best known for his work with outrageous pop songstress Lady Gaga. Remember that meat dress or the more recent incubation egg pod? All Formichetti.

The show began with anticipation at fevour pitch, greatly aided by the twitter declaration by Gaga herself that she would be taking to the runway. What Formichetti presented was akin to an ode to Gaga herself. With a backdrop of Gaga beats models sported sharp shouldered suits, latex trousers, sheer tops and exposed bra detailing in abundance. A collection fit for stage costumes and red carpet looks for a world famous superstar Yes. Wearable for everyone else? Not so much.
