Born in 1948, Thierry Mugler created the house that bears his name in the 70s. A true visionary, he came up with an extremely stylized, graphically designed silhouette, innovative in terms of both line and fabric. His first fragrance, Angel, was launched in 1992. Angel boasts a star-shaped bottle revealing a gourmand blue juice. It’s a best-seller that was at the origin of the gourmand olfactory family. Other creations came next, starting with A*Men – Angel’s counterpart for men – followed by Cologne, Innocent, B*Men, the Jardin d’Etoiles collection, Alien, Ice*Men, Eau de Star and the ‘Miroir Miroir’ collection. A star, the designer’s fetishistic symbol, is omnipresent in the brand’s universe.
