Style & Beauty,
The world has lost another fashion icon.
Manfred Thierry Mugler was a French fashion designer, creative director, and advisor of the avant-garde couture label, Mugler.
Gaining traction in the ’70s, Manfred launched his own fashion house which put his name on the map in the world of Haute Couture.
The visionary was known for his theatrical adaptions of couture, his futuristic boundary-pushing designs, and his incredible blending of architecture, pop culture, and fashion.
Mugler wasn’t just a designer, he was a creative genius.
He reimagined the way we see the world, on and off the runway.

He wasn’t afraid to take risks that defied the limits of Haute Couture.
He was responsible for reframing the lens through which we view sexuality.
Manfred not only left his mark on the industry but created a lasting impression on our cultural fabric as a whole.
Dressing A-list celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, and Cardi B, Mugler has touched the lives and hearts of the most influential names in Hollywood.
We celebrate the life of this industry trailblazer by rounding up his most awe-inspiring, trail-blazing designs.
May he rest in peace.
