Thierry Mugler was perhaps best known for his fantastical and radically sexy designs. However, he was also able to translate his extreme aesthetic into more wearable, commercially successful clothing. Mugler’s superbly tailored suits emphasized a classic hourglass silhouette, while his unusual choices of fabric and construction assured his status as a leader of cutting-edge fashion.
