THIERRY MUGLER – IS THAT YOU?
Filed Under: Fashion > Makeover > Thierry Mugler
Having been fashion obsessed for decades, we were astonished when we saw a recent photo of French designer Thierry Mugler at The WOW Report. The once tall, slim ballet dancer-looking designer is now a GARGANTUAN muscleman. A friend of his told us that when he stopped doing collections some years back, he decided to “reinvent himself” and “change his whole persona.” Thierry, 59, spends five hours a day pumping iron and has packed on around 75 pounds of muscle – certainly with the help of supplements. Nowadays, he wears mostly custom tailored sweats and t shirts- when he has clothes on at all. Oh, and he now goes by the name Manfred. Despite these idiosyncrasies, we were relieved to hear that one thing hasn’t changed – Mugler, according to friends, is still a “sweet, charming, generous gentleman.”
