Thierry Mugler is back to Mugler as
a creative adviser. Following departure of creative director Nicola Formichetti the
designer who started the Mugler brand has taken the position as a creative
adviser to Mugler SAS director general, Joël Palix, which means that he will
advise Palix on business side of things. According to British Vogue, the
position of a creative director at the brand is still vacant.
Mugler has undertaken many steps in
reinventing itself as a brand, which included hiring Nicola Formichetti two
years ago. Now it’s striving to bring the ready-to-wear and fragrance
departments under a single creative management and present the new brand vision
for its 40th anniversary.
It is not an
understatement to say that Mr. Thierry Mugler is both a legend of fashion and
fragrance. His body of work has influenced many designers and perfumers
worldwide. He has brought extraordinary sensory experiences to millions of
women and men across the world. It is time to unite both activities under one
single creative management and turn Mugler into a global and fully integrated
luxury brand with a synergetic approach across fashion, accessories and
fragrances.
said Joël Palix.
Thierry Mugler who left the brand in
2002 has had many other projects since his departure from fashion. He remained
a head of Mugler fragrance and went on to design costumes for Beyonce and Dita
Von Teese. The designer also worked with Cirque du Soleil directing
“Extravaganza” scene as well as desigining the costumes for the characters.
Despite his new position Thierry Mugler will continue with his other projects
like directing theatre shows.
Other changes also include departure
of two Mugler’s designers Sébastien Peigné and Romain Kremer.
The much expected news is who will
take position of creative director at the brand. We hope we’ll learn soon
enough.
