Thierry Mugler designed his first collection in 1973 and quickly rose to prominence in the following decades for his avant-garde, architectural, hyperfeminine and theatrical approach to haute couture. He was one of the first designers to champion diversity in his runway shows, which often tackled racism and ageism, and incorporated non-traditional models such as drag queens, pornstars, and transgender women. In 2002, he retired from the brand, and returned in 2013 as the creative adviser.[5]

In 1992, he directed and designed the outfits for George Michael‘s “Too Funky” music video. While also launching the perfume Angel, which became one of the best-selling perfumes of the 20th century.
