Thierry Mugler was born in Strasbourg in 1948 where he discovers the gothic architecture. For six years, from 14 years onwards, he is a professional dancer in the Ballet de l'Opéra National du Rhin. It is here that he discovers the magic of the scene and develops his sense of the show. At age 20 he moved to Paris where he begins his career as Gudule, the first boutique "branchée" in Paris. After working for two years as a freelance designer for several houses of pret-à-porter, within seven years he works between Paris, London, Barcelona and Milan, creating up to 12 collections per season for men, women and children. In 1974 he creates his own signature and his collections one after another.
Described as "creator of shock", in 1992 he makes his first couture collection.
Thierry Mugler is both a director, writer, photographer, perfumer and creator of costumes. Today, his fragrances are some real successes (Angel, Alien, etc.) and work for different personalities (Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Mylène Farmer, etc.).
