We know designer Thierry Mugler and Lady Gaga are close friends and eccentric personalities; she often dons his avant-garde pieces whilst performing or on the red carpet.

Both also use the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti, but more about him later. Instead, we wish to draw your attention to this latest collaboration.

Have a look and listen to Lady Gaga’s special remix for the Thierry Mugler Paris Menswear Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection. The song Anatomy of Change is taken from her new album Born This Way and was used as the runway backdrop and soundtrack.

The tattooed model in question is MUGLER creative director Nicola Formichetti’s muse Rick Genest, who he found on Facebook.
