Thierry Mugler always dreamed of creating another world – and so he did just that, with the launch of his eponymous label in 1973. Ever since, we’ve witnessed the fashion house use the runway as a teleportation device, propelling us firmly into the future with collections that find the meeting point between fantasy and reality. We've seen Mugler jeans and leggings spliced with mesh, jumpsuits that lead masterclasses in the art of optical illusions, and dresses that riff on proportions with huge shoulders and tiny waists. Even the scents fit the brief – you need only get acquainted with the Angel and Alien perfumes to understand that ‘otherworldly’ really is the only suitable description.
