法國知名設計師Manfred Thierry Mugler於 2022 年 1 月 23 日星期日逝世,享年73歲。

時裝界在近期承受了太多的噩耗,繼受人敬仰的時裝編輯Andre Leon Talley在上週仙逝後,奠定了80年代的權力著裝和在設計、攝影、多元化模特兒都有開創性貢獻的法國時尚工匠Manfred Thierry Mugler在昨日於巴黎去世。他的官方Instagram帳號發佈黑色的照片,表示「我們非常悲痛地宣布Manfred Thierry Mugler先生於2022年1月23日去世。願他的靈魂得到安息。 」

為紀念他的傑出設計,去年巴黎裝飾藝術博物館(Musée des Arts Décoratifs)還舉辦了名為「Thierry Mugler: Courturissime」的展覽。當時Thierry Mugler接受了WWD的訪問並表示他的美學之路還沒有結束,並在開發香水系列及設計傢俱。官方並未公佈Thierry Mugler去世的原因,加上之前一直未有Thierry Mugler患病的消息,因此消息一出令整個業界感到極度震驚及惋惜。

1948出生於法國斯特拉斯堡,學習室內設計的Thierry Mugler在倫敦開始了他的時尚生涯,為時尚精品店打造出搖擺六十年代的外觀。他正式在1973年從事時尚設計,他將 Cristóbal Balenciaga 和 Christian Dior 描述為他的啟蒙大師,他也如他們一樣盡情造夢。他醉心對流線型還有身體的研究,並熱愛對自然生物的模仿,加上模特兒傾情演繹,以至於Thierry Mugler的每一場時裝展都超乎想像,每一場都是藝術狂歡。

在同類離經叛道的鬼才設計師中,你不乏在Lee Alexander McQueen的光怪陸離、John Galliano的浮華絢爛甚至近年被譽為「高級訂製科學家」Iris Van Herpen的仿生物設計中都看得到Thierry Mugler的影響,是名副其實的Camp之王。

除了在設計上的造詣,Thierry Mugler也是最早讓明星成為模特兒的設計師,他的明星追隨者包括Diana Ross、Tippi Hedren、David Bowie和 Demi Moore等等。他1992年推出的暢銷香水「Angel」展開嗅覺革命和高端香水風潮。他在80年代末也開始親自掌鏡時尚大片和擔任導演(其中代表作是他指導 George Michael 1991 年的《Too Funky》MV),留下了不少富爭議性的前衛影像作品。

我做衣服,是為了尋找一些根本不存在的東西。我必須嘗試創造我自己的世界。

Manfred Thierry Mugler在2002年便正式退休,原因是他認為時裝創作在2000年後被商業模式扼殺。此後他積極探索香水業務。其同名時尚品牌在2010年以Mugler的名義捲土重來,現由美國設計師Casey Cadwallader擔任創意總監。Thierry Mugler的時尚設計遺作是2019年出山為Kim Kardashian West出席Met Gala而量身設計的濕身透視滴水禮服,應證了他那句「身體的潛質是無限的。」

長達30多年的設計生涯中,Thierry Mugler留下了衝破人們想象力的「維納斯禮服」、黃金盔甲、機械人套裝、摩托車胸衣、各種受動物和生物啟發的誇張設計以及最華麗的1995年高定系列(共有107套天馬行空的造型)。這些設計後來被流行文化代表Lady Gaga、Beyoncé、Kim Kardashian以及Cardi B等再度演繹,20年的豐富高級訂製檔案庫中,放在今日也依然前衛,並輕鬆登上時尚版頭條。

回看這些超前的設計和對服裝可能性的探索,你一定會對Manfred Thierry Mugler的才華而驚嘆不已:
