For nearly five decades, Thierry Mugler has captivated the world with his bold, innovative designs that redefined fashion. The immersive exhibition Thierry Mugler: Couturissime brings together his multifaceted genius as a visionary couturier, director, photographer, and perfumer. Kunsthal Rotterdam proudly hosts this European premiere of the retrospective, following its sold-out run in Montreal, where it drew over 290,000 visitors in just six months.
The Exhibition: An Opera in Six Acts
Drawing from his theatrical roots, Mugler structures the show like an opera with six captivating acts: Macbeth & the Scottish Lady, Stars & Sparkles, Belle de Jour & Belle de Nuit, The Photographer's Eye, Metamorphosis, and Futuristic & Fembot Couture. This journey immerses visitors in Mugler's world, where "all the world's a stage," highlighting his enduring influence on contemporary designers.
