Anyone who has known, near or far, the 1990s, has smelled the so particular scent of Angel’s sweet patchouli. The cult perfume with the Thierry Mugler logo launched the fashion for sweet, gourmet and heady fragrances. Even today, Angel haunts sensitive noses since it appears, thirty years after its creation, among the top 10 best-selling perfumes.
But beyond these olfactory considerations, the death, at the age of 73, of stylist Thierry Mugler has resulted in a shower of tributes. The cult designer has dressed the biggest stars of the last thirty years and imposed a unique futuristic style made of very structured silhouettes with broad shoulders.
A queer fashion icon
From Beyoncé to Cindy Sander, Thierry Mugler has dressed the most popular icons and his creations greatly inspire the current queer and drag scene.
And for you, what does Thierry Mugler represent? Do you have the perfume of Angel in mind? Do you remember the outfits he designed for Madonna, David Bowie or Kim Kardashian? Do you dream, secretly, at night, of dressing in one of his shoulder-pad bodysuits to parade on a stage under the flashes?
