Theirry Mugler, iconic French fashion designer and perfume creator has died. He was 73.
Mugler’s team announced his passing in a post shared on Instagram Sunday.
“#RIP We are devastated to announce the passing of Mr. Manfred Thierry Mugler on Sunday, January 23rd, 2022,” his team wrote next to a photo of a blank, black square. “May his soul Rest In Peace.”
Born Manfred Thierry Mugler, the Strasbourg-bred designer began crafting clothing in the 1970s but it wasn’t until the ’80s and ’90s that he became an internationally recognized designer, creating clothing for Demi Moore in films like Indecent Proposal and on the red carpet for Sharon Stone, David Bowie, George Michael and more, with Tyra Banks and Cindy Crawford among the top models of the time to wear his looks on the runway.
Mugler left fashion in 2003, but still collaborated with celebs and even launched his own beauty line that has since released a host of fragrances, including Angel and Alien.
In recent years, stars like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Beyoncé, Robin Wright, Nicole Kidman, Lady Gaga, Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus have all rocked his ensembles.
Mugler’s death comes less than a week after the fashion world mourned the loss of another icon in the industry, André Leon Talley.
