Manfred Thierry Mugler was a French couturier.
He helped define ’80s power dressing, pioneered the celebrity-as-model phenomena, and pioneered a new fragrance category with Angel.
During his multidecade career, he has dressed Diana Ross, Tippi Hedren, and Demi Moore, and more recently, he has dressed Beyoncé, Cardi B, and Kim Kardashian West. At the 2019 Met Gala, the latter created a splash with her wet-look latex corseted gown.
A message from his official Instagram account confirmed this statement to his numerous fans;
“We are heartbroken to report the death of Mr. Manfred Thierry Mugler on January 23rd, 2022. May his soul rest in peace”.
Sandrine Groslier, global brand president of Mugler fashion and perfumes, worked with Mugler for 27 years and described him as a “brilliant jack-of-all-trades” who permanently changed the world of fashion and beauty.
“He was hilarious, passionate, and insane at times, and he always understood how to pay honor to all women with a lot of heart, you’ve made it to the stars. Mr. Mugler, may you rest in peace.”
Mugler’s current creative director, Casey Cadwallader, remarked on Instagram,
“Manfred, I am so proud to have known you and to work inside your lovely universe.” You altered our perceptions of attractiveness, confidence, representation, and self-esteem. I will take your legacy with me in all I do. Thank you very much”.
He died at the age of 73.
