Legendary fashion designer Thierry Mugler is dead to me!

Loved his clothes. Damn 2022!

Mein Fuhrer.

Is it just me, or is this year shaping up to rival 2016 when it comes to celebrity deaths? Seems like it's been just one after the other since Betty White on NYE.

How's Richard Simmons? Check on him will you, dear?

Definitely a talented designer and artist. And hot AS FUCK before the auto and gym accidents. He resembled Alexander McQueen in some photos.

In his day Thierry Mugler was one hot leather daddy.

Wow he was hot. Aww this is sad.

TM was one of the original bad boys of fashion. He didn't really try to hide his sexuality (not that I recall anyway).

Thierry Mugler speaks about his famous (or infamous) falling out with George Michael..

Damn. Loved his stuff and his place in fashion history is interesting.

I thought he was cute/hot before the accident and then gym/roid/surgery transformation. But I also found him hot - in a completely different way - when the transformation was completed.

“[Transforming my facial features] was all about fun and pleasing myself. And opportunities. I had several accidents. One was crashing in a jeep, during which my nose was completely destroyed,” Mugler told actress Tippi Hendren at the time. “Another motorcycle accident involved steel cables, after which I had to remove a piece of metal from my leg. There was all this anesthesia and stuff, and I could never motivate myself to go back to the hospital becauseI’m so busy, and the surgeon was screaming at me, because they had to take this piece of metal out of my leg.”

He continued, “So I said, ‘Let’s find a way to make this fun!’ I asked another surgeon if he could do some things to my chin, and then I was happy to get the bloody anesthesia. He actually took a piece of bone from my hip and put it on my chin, so I don’t have any plastic or silicone. It’s all bones. I wanted my face to represent progress, because after years of being a thin, charming dancer, I wanted to be a warrior. I’ve done so much in my life. I’ve fought so much. I’m a superhero, so it’s normal to have the face of one.” Mugler also explained that he wanted his facial reconstructive surgery to be as natural as possible, which is why he wanted to use bones to reconstruct his face instead of silicone or plastic. “I don’t know what normal even means. I think nature is endless and beautiful, so I try to occupy nature and never contradict it. Silicone, these cheap things, are ugly,” he said.

"This wasn’t because he was a terror, said Joey Arias, the torch-singing drag artist, who appeared in “Zumanity,” the Cirque du Soleil spectacular Mr. Mugler helped conceive and design costumes for after retiring from his company in 2002."

Had no idea Joey Arias was still around.
