One of Paris’ most dynamic designers of the 80s and 90s, Thierry Mugler’s creations were always as dramatic and distinctive as they were luxurious. His haute couture shows were often huge spectacles that showcased his proclivity for theatrical styling coupled with a penchant for precise tailoring. His designs were celebrity favorites, having dressed the likes of Diana Ross, Madonna, and Grace Jones. Although retiring from his brand in 2002, Mugler’s hugely successful fragrance division remains to this day. In 2008, he reemerged back into the fashion spotlight to design the costumes for Beyonce’s “I Am…World Tour”, and again in 2019 to dress Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala.
