Manfred Thierry Mugler never really played it safe. The French designer, who died January 23 at age 73, opened his eponymous Paris boutique in 1978. At that time, he had already worked for several designers and created his own collection, Café de Paris. In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Mugler’s popularity grew as his penchant for […]

Manfred Thierry Mugler is tap dancing for me. It’s maybe the last thing I expected from the famously reclusive designer. But apparently it doesn’t take much to get Mugler dancing. “Your shoes are so cute!” he says, while doing an impromptu buffalo-step shuffle. “Very Fred Astaire.” I look down at my two-toned spectator-ish flats and […]

Last night at the Grammy Awards, Cardi B wore not one, not two, but four looks from Thierry Mugler’s archives.

When I asked stylist Lea-Anne Baxter and art director Alex Gosse about the difference between the female gaze and the male gaze, they looked at me blankly. It took some time before we figured out that the confusion was a matter of homophones: They thought I’d asked about the difference between female “gays” and male […]

A plain white T-shirt isn’t usually the kind of thing that gets put on display, but this year, the basic crewneck will get a piece of the spotlight as one of the star features in a new exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Items: Is Fashion Modern? (on display until January […]

It’s safe to assume that at some point in our lives we will butcher the pronunciation of a name to the point of no return (I’ve done it before, and often have my own name mispronounced, which results in major LOLs and sometimes SMHs). Now that fashion month has wrapped up, we’ve put together a primer […]

Strategic cut-outs, thigh-high slits and body-con shapes: Sébastien Peigné and Nicola Formichetti of Mugler are bringing sexy back.

Reviving Mugler is a monster task. After designer Thierry Mugler took his final runway bow at his couture show in July 2000, this kinky house of cool (remember Demi Moore’s bondage-style dress in 1993’s Indecent Proposal?) started flatlining. Ten years later, the resuscitation began. In 2010, following months of speculation, Nicola Formichetti (Lady Gaga’s stylist) was tapped to lead the revival of the French house known for its over-the-top theatricality and sex appeal. Besides outfitting Mother Monster, this 34-year-old half-Italian, half-Japanese, techno-savvy superstar is also the fashion director for Vogue Hommes Japan and global retailer Uniqlo. His debut Mugler womenswear show during Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week had the twitterverse buzzing about its latex-dipped leggings, body-stocking dresses and the catwalk pièce de résistance: Gaga, smoking in every sense of the word.

Michel Gaubert has a laugh that makes you want to get him alone with a gin and tonic and a confidentiality vow, and ask him to dish about his three decades in the fashion world. Rarely in the spotlight but always in the vanguard (and on the guest list), Gaubert is an insider’s insider, the style set’s most trusted DJ. He’s partied with Thierry Mugler and Jerry Hall, collaborated with Longchamp, and created runway soundtracks for power houses such as Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten and—most notably and consistently—for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.

Our annual giveaway begins on Monday, September 12th! You’ll find lots of great prizes throughout our October issue, on newsstands September 6th.
