Iconic Fashion Designer Manfred Thierry Mugler Has Passed Away Age 73 The fashion industry has lost another legend. - by Ava Gilchrist The fashion industry has suffered another loss, with legendary French designer Manfred Thierry Mugler passing away at age 73. It comes just a week after the unexpected death of iconic fashion journalist André Leon Talley at age 73. Taking to social media, representatives of Mugler posted a black image with a touching caption to announce the news. “We are devastated to announce the passing of Mr Manfred Thierry Mugler on Sunday January 23rd 2022. May his soul Rest In Peace,” the post read. The designer was 73. At the time of posting, Mugler’s Creative Director Casey Cadwallader was yet to comment. Best known for the eponymous fashion house he founded in the 70s, Mugler’s penchant for avant garde designs and hyperfemine suiting has left a lasting legacy on the industry. Despite retiring from fashion in 2003, he made a one-off triumphant return to design the iconic "wet look" dress worn by Kim Kardashian West at the Met Gala in 2019. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at the time.
