Thierry Mugler, designer of appearing<

The creatures draped in incredible toilets were jostling, last October during the inauguration of the retrospective Thierry Mugler, a designer devoted to him until April 24 at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. The champagne bubbles also seemed released that evening. And the music was good. We would have thought ourselves at the dawn of the Eighties, time of the palace where this Frenchman was one of the most influential stylists in the place with his highly sculptural and ultra feminine fashion. With his spectacular parades, he had invented the hyper fashion show, some twenty years later, he will convert a hundred percent into the scenography of fantasy cabarets on the side of Las Vegas. At the same time, he will change his first name and plastic ... Manfred (Thierry) Mugler died yesterday at the age of 73, while haute couture professionals arrived in Paris for a new fashion week. Some had certainly planned to visit this retrospective perfectly capturing its millimeter, sexy and glamorous style which amply defined the appearance of the woman of the 1980s. Unless they have already traveled this exhibition of the Museum of Fine Arts From Montreal in 2019, then reproduced in Rotterdam and Munich.

The scene has always fascinated Thierry Mugler. As a teenager, this Strasbourg by birth (1948) had even dreamed of a star dancer, integrating the Ballet body of the Rhine Opera at the age of 14. At 20, he left his hometown for Paris: "I switched to fashion at that time, overnight, he confided, in 2012, as part of an interview for the book of Lives and Modes retracing the career of consultant Jean-Jacques Picart, who was his first press officer. As a child, I got down to dance because I loved to stage myself and shape costumes, characters. And, suddenly, arriving in Paris, this fashion universe imposed itself in my eyes as an ideal space to put on shows, tell stories. Because fashion is nothing more than a staging. Like it or not, everyone expresses something when they dress in the morning. In 1973, he launched a first claw entitled Café de Paris. The following year, she was renamed in her name. Built -in, strangled waist, wounded legs, endless and high perched ... Its fashion already looks crazy. Hairstyles, makeup are also very sophisticated. From 1979, he imagined an equally expressive male fashion. For the ten years of his booming house in 1984, he designed a parade in Zenith in front of 6,000 people. That evening, the fashion sector realizes that it makes the crowds dream.
