The French fashion designer's team made the announcement of his passing on Sunday, January 23, 2022. In the post, which was simply a black square, on his personal Instagram account, there was a statement written in both French and English.
It read, "We are devastated to announce the passing of Mr. Manfred Thierry Mugler on Sunday, January 23rd 2022. May his soul Rest In Peace."
Thierry was born December 21, 1948, in Strasbourg, France. His fashion career began in the 1970s and it wasn't long before he became known for his avant-garde, groundbreaking, dramatic designs.
