THE DIESEL TRIBUTE

Nicola Formichetti & Stephen James for GQ Style Germany

 

Artist Director Nicola Formichetti has always been known to snatch up the "unconventional" beauties, in order to execute his vision.  From Gaga, to Rick Genest, and now Stephen James, Formichetti's casting choices not only revamped, but also refreshed the images of previous places of employment, such as the House of Mugler, as well as his collaborations with Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, and Gareth Pugh.  

Currently settling in at Diesel, its only obvious that Nicola would now be putting his stamp on the denim design house as well.  In comes the fast rising, very handsome, and heavily tatted Stephen James?

 Formichetti styles James for the editorial. And although the nicely chiseled James is pretty bare in most of the images, the mood has been set.
