Frankly this is the last invitation I expected to request here in Paris, but it's true: Thierry Mugler, of sculpted cyber suit infamy, is once again showing here in Paris. Granted I don't think Monsieur Mugler is at the helm anymore, but given the sheer number of designers currently referencing his arch eighties fantasia as antidote to our doldroms (although alas not reviving that Harley Davidson handlebar bustier) the time seems opportune. First I'm off to a re-see of last night's Yves Saint Laurent collection, and later we'll be seeing collections by Chloe, Valentino and a salon presentation of the final collection created by Alexander McQueen before his death last month.
