Nicola Formichetti Hosts Erotic Fashion Film on XTube
The fashion world is abuzz over Nicola Formichetti, Creative Director for Mugler and Fashion Director for Lady Gaga. Nicola has hosted his long awaited short film with model-turned-film-director Branislav Jankic on XTube. The film, which features the latest men’s collection from Mugler, is an elegant display of eroticism and fashion.
“I was interested in the idea of fantasy, dreams and voyeurism,” Formichetti said, of Arcadia. “I was looking at Italian Neo-Realist cinema and then, post-that, where Fellini and Pasolini become more about myth and fantasy. At the same time, I loved the idea and accessibility of pornography and everyday voyeurism on Xtube. Fashion is always referencing pornography, so there was an element in doing this film of just ‘cutting out the middleman,’ but it is an erotic fashion film nonetheless.”
“I wanted to bring some of that excessive drama and the look of fantasy back to porn – to acknowledge something as over-the-top as tinto brass’ caligula. With the explicit sex scenes left in.”
