Thierry Mugler retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum is a must see for fashion aficionados. The retrospective entitled Couturissime celebrates the French designer extraordinary career.

The retrospective, (which opened November 18th), is housed on the 5th floor of the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery extends to a number of adjacent rooms, showcasing the edgy aesthetic styles Mugler was known and celebrated for – bold, theatrical, flamboyant and defiant.

Mugler who died in January 2021, was one of the most innovative fashion designers of the last century. A master showman when presenting his collections, he was one of the first major designers to include black and trans models in his runway shows. 

The retrospective features Mugler designs as wearable art. Designs made from materials such as latex, vinyl, plexiglass, rubber, scales, feathers, chrome and other embellishments.

On display are Mugler’s colorful and creative collections which were worn by Madonna, Beyoncé, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Cardi B, Bella Hadid, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian just to name a few.
