Nicola Formichetti Also Can’t Wait for More Stranger Things

Since starting off the year partnering with both Grindr and Pornhub in his role as creative director of Diesel, Nicola Formichetti has kept up a steady stream of eye-catching collaborations, which he’s now rounding out by partnering with the Italian artist and professional provocateur Maurizio Cattelan. More specifically, he’s teamed up with one of Cattelan’s many infamous art works: a solid gold toilet titled “America” currently occupying the fourth floor bathroom of the Guggenheim, which, on a recent visit, Formichetti confirmed is fully functioning. Though his experience with the piece had its drawbacks — “I was very busy trying to figure out how to set up the timer on my phone to take a selfie,” he said — it was still at the center of his holiday party with Cattelan and Ladyfag on Friday night, where things got really intimate (the dress code was “underwear.”) Before the festivities kicked off, Formichetti shared what else he’s been obsessed with in his culture diet.
