lady gaga :: thierry mugler :: nicola formichetti

"For the sexy and moody fashion film, which was directed by fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco, [Mugler creative director Nicola] Formichetti tracked down an unlikely muse in Canadian model Rick Genest. After seeing the skeleton-tattooed 'Zombie Boy' on Facebook, Formichetti flew to Montreal to shoot the video above. It is interspersed with clips from yesterday's runway presentation. It features Genest, aka Rico, peeling off slick black paint to reveal his impressive body art and also dancing in a strands of pearls to Gaga's infectious house music. Gaga remixed the song specifically for the occasion. It is a track from her new album, 'Born This Way,' which is set to be released in May."
