Summary

1. "The definitive book on the iconic couturier and fashion revolutionary Thierry Mugler. Thierry Mugler has, since the creation of his label in 1974, continuously revolutionized contemporary fashion with his singular, imaginative vision. Beyond creating his iconic ready-to-wear and haute couture garments, Mugler inhabits multiple worlds as a photographer, director, choreographer, and perfumer. Oversized and richly illustrated with 450 images, this book is a luxury object fit for the haute couture world of Mugler. Lavishly designed, the book traces Mugler's career and reveals never-before-seen material by photographers such as Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, and David LaChapelle. This book accompanies the first exhibition on Mugler, produced and toured by the Montreal Museum Fine Arts."--from the publisher.
