There are few designers in the world who can claim to have the same level of influence across fashion as Thierry Mugler. Over the past 40 years, he has gone from being a ballet dancer in Paris to become a leader in design, who has carved out a unique niche for himself as a man who is primarily concerned with the creation of haute couture that expresses the character of the age on the catwalk.
For Thierry Mugler, fashion is an intellectual exercise. He does not look for inspiration outside of his own mind, and is famous for creating lines of clothes that bear little relationship to the products of other designers. Mugler is very much his own man, and his designs are often described as being futuristic, as so many other lesser designers imitate his work later.
Over the years, Thierry Mugler has been credited with inspiring a number of major fashion movements including Punk, and the new age man. He has never been afraid to experiment with his styles, and is willing to look to the streets in order to find the most cutting edge fashions. This allows him to stay ahead of the game, and understand the demands of the people who are most likely to be inspired by his designs.
While the core of the Mugler brand is, and always will be its line of Haute Couture clothing, the brand has extended over the years to create a particularly distinctive look. His designs incorporate bright colors and straight edges, which he uses to create an idealized shape for the body. Even the ready to wear lines from Thierry Mugler feature the same kind of styling as the main brand, although for practical reasons, this is reigned in somewhat.
One of the greatest successes of the Thierry Mugler luxury brand in the last few years has been its extensive line of fragrances. Since the introduction of the first Thierry Mugler perfume, Angel in 1992, the brand has become established as a leading producer of fragrances to the point where they now provide the majority of the company’s income.
Popular fragrances from Thierry Mugler include the variations on Angel: Celestial Sparkle, Innocent, and Stars, and a number of other fragrances for men and women such as Alien, and B*Men, a striking fragrance that emphasizes the masculinity of the wearer, but is subtle enough to wear on a day to day basis.
