Manfred Thierry Mugler, who launched his brand in 1973, became known for his architectural style
French fashion designer Manfred Thierry Mugler, whose dramatic designs were worn by celebrities like Madonna, Lady Gaga and Cardi B, has died. He was 73-years-old.
He died Sunday, his official Instagram account said. “May his soul Rest In Peace,” it said in a post that was all black with no image. It did not give a cause of death.
Mugler, who launched his brand in 1973, became known for his architectural style, defined by broad shoulders and a tiny waist. The use of plastic-like futuristic fabric in his sculpted clothing became a trademark.

India has formally joined Pax Silica, a U.S.-led initiative focused on artificial intelligence and secure supply chains, signalling a reset in India-U.S. ties after a turbulent year. Pax Silica is aimed at protecting technology supply chains from strategic vulnerabilities — particularly amid concerns over China’s dominance in critical sectors.
