What is Thierry Mugler most famous for?
1 Answer
Thierry Mugler is most famous for his evening gowns and his dramatic fashion shows. His 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. 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.
