French fashion luminary Thierry Mugler, celebrated for his influential designs during the 1980s, has sadly passed away at 73 due to natural causes, as confirmed by his agent. Mugler’s daring and groundbreaking collections became synonymous with power dressing in that era, featuring impeccably structured and sophisticated silhouettes.
Over the course of his illustrious career, Mugler had the privilege of dressing a plethora of celebrities, including Beyonce and Lady Gaga. He made a striking resurgence in 2019 when he emerged from retirement to craft Kim Kardashian’s unforgettable Met Gala attire.
In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, it was with deep sorrow that it was announced, «We regret to announce the passing of Mr. Manfred Thierry Mugler on Sunday, January 23rd, 2022.» Mugler had been on the verge of unveiling new collaborations shortly before his passing, as relayed by his agent, Jean-Baptiste Rougeot.
Born in Strasbourg in December 1948, Mugler ventured to Paris at the age of 20, where he initially established «Cafe de Paris» in 1973, followed by the inception of his eponymous label, «Thierry Mugler,» just a year later. Renowned for his theatrical fashion presentations and the iconic «Angel» fragrance, Thierry Mugler’s indelible mark on the fashion landscape will continue to resonate for generations.
