“There is no future without a past, so I hope that this exhibition will inspire in its visitors a new creative future” Thierry Mugler

The Thierry Mugler archive comprises some of fashion’s most fantastical, forward-looking creations from the late seventies to the early naughts. The designer’s place as a visionary showman in the annals of fashion is well-secured as evidenced by the recent opening of THIERRY Mugler: Couturissime, a retrospective of the designer’s body of work at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. In these banal creative times, we were struck by the flawless broadcast of designs from another time finding new life in this hyper digital age and on the bodies of today’s most powerful celebrities.
