Thierry Mugler

French, 1948-2022

Fashion as sculpture, as avant-garde expression, as spectacle: Thierry Mugler’s career pushed the boundaries of what fashion design and clothing could mean.

Mugler, who went by Manfred in later years, founded his brand in 1973 with his first personal collection. By the late 1990s, he was more famous for his fragrances, thanks to the brand’s best seller Angel. But vintage Mugler dresses and gowns have recently returned to red carpets, worn by stars like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B and Hailey Bieber. 

Mugler’s penchant for performance, drama and costuming came from his background in ballet, having danced as a teenager with the Opéra national du Rhin in his hometown of Strasbourg, France. In the 1980s and ’90s, his couture shows were theatrical and futuristic, similar to those of his contemporaries Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix.

In one of Mugler’s shows, the then-pregnant legendary supermodel Pat Cleveland (part of the coterie of glamorous muses associated with designer Halston) was suspended from the ceiling and then glided down the runway surrounded by clouds of smoke.

Mugler would become known for his immaculate tailoring as well as for his increasingly avant-garde designs that featured sharp cuts, sexy and fetishistic elements, an integration of metal and uniquely treated materials like PVC and leather. Recent years have seen Mugler’s archival designs, especially from his 1995 haute couture show, take center stage, coinciding with the resurgence of camp in fashion and the return of bodycon dresses.

The French cosmetics company Clarins SA acquired Mugler’s brand in 1997, and its founder stepped back from the label in 2002. The house’s roster of clients has included some of the most visionary figures in fashion, from David Bowie and Diana Ross to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, and the founder’s influence on over-the-top fashion can be seen in the work of designers such as Jeremy Scott and Alexander McQueen.

Thierry Mugler FW 2000 LES CHATS Silver Metallic Sculptural Skirt Suit

By Thierry Mugler

Located in Berlin, BE

A vision of cinematic glamour sharpened into couture geometry, this Thierry Mugler FW 2000 “Les Chats” collection ensemble captures the designer at his most compelling: part predator, part showgirl, part silver-screen apparition. Cut in severe black tailoring, the suit is dramatically interrupted by a sweeping metallic silver collar that curves around the shoulders like armor, whiskers, or moonlight caught in motion. Its most extraordinary feature is its transformable construction. Worn open and folded outward, the metallic collar spreads across the shoulders to create a bold, off-the-shoulder silhouette, revealing the narrow supporting straps and framing the décolleté with sculptural brilliance. Alternatively, the jacket can be closed and buttoned fully at the front, concealing the silver element and transforming the piece into a strict, impeccably tailored black blazer. With a single adjustment, it shifts from theatrical evening glamour to controlled, almost austere power dressing—two distinct characters contained within one remarkable design. The silhouette is unmistakably Mugler: a sculpted waist, precise peplum, strict pencil skirt, and architectural décolleté that transforms the body into an hourglass monument. Silver cuffs and the belted waist add flashes of futuristic discipline. It is seductive, but never soft; theatrical, yet impeccably controlled. From the FW 2000 Les Chats universe, the ensemble channels Mugler’s fascination with the woman as creature: elegant, dangerous, immaculate. There is something nocturnal about it—a black cat in Paris after midnight, crossing beneath a neon sign, fully aware of the spell she casts. This is not simply a suit; it is a character, a performance, and a rare example of Mugler’s transformative power dressing. (Two- piece set. Comes with a free Thierry Mugler belt...
