Thierry Mugler

Thierry Mugler was a showman who believed that fashion was theatre and that women deserved to be the spectacle. From the sculptural power suits of the 1980s to the latex and exoskeleton couture of the 1990s, Mugler built a vision of femininity that was fierce, futuristic, and utterly its own. His fragrance Angel, launched in 1992, broke every rule of perfumery and invented the gourmand category; Alien followed with an equally divisive and beloved presence. Mugler’s legacy endures in a house that still prizes transformation, spectacle, and the thrill of becoming someone extraordinary.
