I've always liked Mugler. I visited his Paris menswear shop in 2003 just before it closed down... it had some really neat items, though most of them a little out of date...

I won't post the pic of what Mugler has done to himself since retirement. Let's just say he's sort of gone Steroid Crazy and become a manbeast. There is a picture floating around the net (and this forum!)... so beware. haha

Mugler and Claude Montana were sort of the dynamic duo in the 80's for making some really spectacular stuff. I was too young to wear any of it... but it always looked like a lot of fun.

I know what you mean. Although some of it looks dated by today's standard and it looks like it belongs in a comic book, I think that is why I love it so much.

Thank you very much, Kodak - I always value your contributions. Of course this thread is incomplete without the Tom of Finland picture of Mugler. John, please post.

^Your wish is my command....



This picture is luckily cropped (you can thank me later). There is an "uncensored" version on the web. View at your own risk.

[KodakII]

Doesn't he like to be referred to as Manfred?

[Chinorlz]

No cropping.

Here's the beast in all his beefcake glory!





Kaboom!!

this thread is like a gradual unveiling of the inevitable

[KodakII]

Just search Thierry Mugler manfred on google and look at the images if you truly want to see it. I would rather not...

[Chinorlz]

just post it.

Let the manwich begin.

[MikeN]

That's what Thierry Mugler looks like?!?!?

[Faust]

Jeebus. Ok, I say we get back to his kinky fashions, rather than his personal kink.

[KodakII]

...moving on
