Iconic French fashion designer Manfred Thierry Mugler, has died, aged 73 on January 23rd. We couldn’t let this sad event pass without looking at some of our favourite designs throughout the decades. In the 1970s, Mugler launched his eponymous fashion house; and quickly rose to prominence in the following decades for his avant-garde, architectural, hyperfeminine, and theatrical approach to couture. Mugler is perhaps best known for helping define ’80s power dressing, launching the phenomenon of celebrities-as-models, and introducing a new fragrance category with Angel.
