Nicola Formichetti Doesn�t Like Fat People. Nicola Vs. W Magazine

In short: there�s a controversy regarding an interview with Nicola Formichetti (Thierry Mugler�s creative director, Lady Gaga�s stylist) from the August 2011 issue of W Magazine. In the said interview, among other (important, relevant) issues, Nicola said he doesn�t like fat people.

The next day after his quotes went viral on the fashinterwebs, Nicola said he was misquoted. Now W answered also, saying that they went through the audio and the transcripts of the interview and (guess what?) Nicole wasn�t misquoted, he said those exact words expressing his exact feelings about fat people. Refinery also found the below image (at right) in Nicola�s Facebook profile pictures folder. I rest my case. (after the jump, the quotes)

�I was only used to dressing models and skinny kids and I turned up and it was, like, three fat guys. I just left. That was the last time I tried to work with fat people. I think one of them was Ali G�s brother. It was so ghetto. (Nicola Formichetti)

i know i should just leave it but�i really hate when writers just write whatever they want� �i dont work with fat people�� why would someone say such a thing?! (Nicola again)

After double-checking both the print and audio transcript, W firmly stands behind its reporting of its interview with Nicola Formichetti. (W Magazine)�

Yes, Nicola, why would someone say such a thing? (via)
