Another Muse for Nicola Formichetti: Nomi Ruiz

It seems like every few months Nicola Formichetti finds inspiration in another fresh face — from Lady Gaga to Rick Genest and now Nomi Ruiz.

The singer and model is in the forthcoming issue of V, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Immediately after meeting for the shoot, Formichetti requested Ruiz for his upcoming Mugler menswear collection campaign film, where Ruiz can be spotted vamping on the bed in the bondage scene and her band, Jessica 6, can be heard on the accompanying soundtrack.

Formichetti is known for transforming relative unknowns into stars and has found his latest muse, Nomi Ruiz — a transgender singer from Brooklyn.
