Far from a classic retrospective, Thierry Mugler, Couturissime will encapsulate the life and energy that defined the historic collaborations between Thierry Mugler and his creative alter-ego Manfred. The exhibition will be presented in the newly renovated Christine and Stephen A. Schwarzman Fashion Galleries of the Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs. From the 1970\u2019s until 2002 when Mugler turned the page on fashion, the creator established himself as one of the most daring and innovative couturiers of his time, creating silhouettes of remarkable potency often hailed as the embodiment of the 1980\u2019s through the lens of fashion. In the 1990\u2019s, Mugler galvanized the renaissance of haute couture through his bold collections and spectacular understanding of scenography, exemplified in his fashion shows and catwalks, which included the use of grandiose photography and the most iconic models of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, organized in several acts like a classic opera, thematically blends costumes, animated projections, photographs and music, creating varying atmospheres that personify the numerous projects Mugler has championed since the end of the 1970\u2019s. Displayed on two floors of the Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, the exhibition\u2019s opening aquatic theme evokes an eccentric world of fantasy-inspired fauna in which excess abounds, from the ocean\u2019s surface to the depths of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following segment highlights two flamboyant silhouettes from Mugler\u2019s Insect and Chim\u00e8res Collection of 1997\/1998 – futuristic silhouettes with high, piercing shoulders, plunging d\u00e9collet\u00e9s, and surreal hourglass waistlines. The first exhibited silhouette includes a black velvet sheath and train adorned with butterfly wings created by the Maison Lemari\u00e9, covered in iridescent scales and embroidered with crystals, costume diamonds, feathers and horsehair, all representative of the extravagance of Mugler\u2019s couture. The second installation depicts Nymphs donning scalloped glass and shell bustiers alongside extravagant organza jellyfish evoking the imagery of Jules Verne\u2019s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The theme of Science Fiction succeeds the animal and aquatic kingdoms as animated super heroines, industrial design and futuristic automobiles become new sources of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the end of the 1960\u2019s, fashion photography asserted itself as an art form, replacing illustrations which had once reigned supreme. Beginning on the second floor, Thierry Mugler, Couturissime gives pride of place to this artistic medium with numerous rare prints signed by artists and photography greats including Guy Bourdin, Jean-Paul Goude, Karl Lagerfeld, Dominique Issermann, David LaChapelle, Luigi & Iango, Sarah Moon, Pierre et Gilles, Paolo Roversi, Herb Ritts and Ellen von Unwerth, while also highlighting the timeless collaboration between Thierry Mugler and photographer Helmut Newton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This room is dedicated to the photographic achievements of Mugler himself who, in 1976, began photographing his own visual campaigns, playing on the glamour and beauty of his muses, from Jerry Hall to Iman, in exotic locations such as Greenland, the Sahara Desert, and the rooftop of the Paris Opera House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 1970\u2019s, Mugler created his acclaimed \u201cGlamazon,\u201d a chic, modern, glamorous urban woman whose style was selected in direct opposition to the flower power, hippie fashions of the time. In black and white d\u00e9cor, Mugler\u2019s crystal creations arouse the temptations of eroticism and fetishism, with exposed creations that combine latex and vinyl, subversive materials that Mugler elevated to the level of classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Music takes pride of place with George Michael\u2019s song and music video \u201cToo Funky,\u201d which Mugler directed in 1991. The fashion ensembles for the video were worn throughout the 1990\u2019s by top models of the day, including Eva Herzigova, Linda Evangelista, Emma Sj\u00f6berg, Estelle Lefebure, transgender model Connie Girl, and performers Joey Arias and Julie Newmar, the first \u201cCatwoman.\u201d It also pays tribute to the eight-time Oscarwinning American costume designer, Edith Head. Mugler\u2019s catwalks launched the phenomenon of celebrities-as-models, inviting Hollywood celebrities such as Diana Ross, Tippi Hedren and Sharon Stone to participate as models, staging elaborate backgrounds and producing original soundtracks for their walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the exhibition showcases costumes designed by the artist for the stage, including works devised for the theatrical production of Macbeth presented by the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise at the Festival d\u2019Avignon in 1985. Mugler\u2019s design for the character of the first witch, along with his original sketches displayed in life-sized proportions on the wall and a multimedia installation by Michel Lemieux (4D Art), are just a few examples of the designs intended to transport the visitor back to this tragic Shakespearean world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thierry Mugler, Couturissime is an opportunity to discover and rediscover the brilliance of this artist, and in turn, dancer, man of the stage, photographer and designer \u2013 an artist who marked his time by revolutionizing the world of fashion through his creations with sculptural morphologies that are both futuristic and elegant. Mugler\u2019s distinctive style transcends fashion, having influenced generations of artists to this very day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
