At Brooklyn Museum's 'Thierry Mugler: Couturissime' retrospective, the mastermind's works with Lady Gaga and Beyoncé are frozen in time but still alive and vibrating with the musical energy these greats imbued.
At the Gymnase Japy in Paris, Gaga walked the runway to Formichetti’s first collection the only way she knew how, with theatricality and unparalleled grace. “Gaga had better balance on her platform wedges than many of the professional models did on their own precarious heels,” wrote Nicole Phelps in her review of the show. All of this was done to the beat of “Government Hooker,” which would officially release months later.
While Formichetti’s role lasted only a few years, Gaga and Mugler were entwined, going on to forge many projects in the years to come — perhaps her most infamous being ‘Telephone’ where she debuted a vintage black & white set during the videos cutscene, or ‘Paparazzi’ where she was seen in a diamond-encrusted corset during the video opening and Metropolis robot suit later on.
Metal bra, shorts, articulated armpieces, and helmet, made in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Delcros. Later worn in Lady Gaga’s music video for her single ‘Paparazzi.’Beyoncé’s relationship with Mugler started around the same time, but while Gaga’s relationship was progressive, here it was explosive. Thierry served as the creative advisor for her world tour of “I Am… Sasha Fierce,” overseeing everything from lighting to sets, in addition to the costumes for the entire tour.
