Mugler took typical styles from the 1980s and 1990s and infused them with a drama and mythical fantasy that set him apart from his contemporaries. His exaggerated silhouettes and imaginative embellishments came to define the era and continue to captivate the fashion industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recurring influence throughout Mugler\u2019s prolific career is the character of the femme fatale. The associated aesthetic, seductive, avant-garde and powerful, has a natural kinship with that of drag, a world where Mugler commands lasting reverence.
