Wow. Long time no talk.

I am so happy to be back. So much has changed since I was here last! I am now a New York City resident, spending all of my time studying and exploring. There are a few reasons for my hiatus, but it is primarily due to my gap year. So much happened over that span of time, which changed my life for the better (even if it didn’t feel like it at the time). I am more mature, more educated, and much happier than I was when I last saw you all. I missed this outlet very much. I can’t wait to bring you all along on my new journey! Thank you for sticking around.

Stay safe & wear your mask! <3

“Presently the smell of coffee began to fill the room. This was morning’s hallowed moment. In such a fragrance the perversity of the world is forgotten, and the soul is inspired with faith in the future…”

— Halldór Laxness in Independent People. Vintage, 1934/2008, p. 172. Originally in Icelandic.

Manfred Thierry Mugler,  “The Prophet of Futurism”, 

(21 December 1948 – 23 January 2022)

The legendary house of Thierry Mugler occupies the space between fashion and myth, manned by a designer so visionary that no less than Beyoncé, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Cardy B have called upon him to create couture so haute your body temperature rises just looking at pictures of it.

For over two decades, Mugler was a reigning force in fashion, an enfant terrible who defied bourgeois sensibilities with his spectacular looks and magnificent, sometimes almost hour-long runway shows.

His archetype was an Amazonian woman, commanding and in command, but still with a sense of humor and flirtatiousness. 

In shows that were more like dramatically orchestrated performances than what we see on the catwalk today, all the legends walked in Mugler’s famous creations – Naomi Campbell in one of those chrome and fibreglass car bodies, Cindy Crawford in a bondage bodysuit with nipple tassels, Linda Evangelista in a sequinned wig and gown, Eva Herzigova surrounded by red feathers… the list goes on.

Off the runway, Mugler worked as both director and costume designer for the 1992 video of George Michael’s “Too Funky.”

His taste for grandeur and glamour created breathtaking silhouettes that fused the mystique of Old Hollywood with the infinite possibilities of science fiction.

Merci Thierry pour tant d'années de pure magie!

My dudes! I can offically say that I got a distinction in my Masters in Medieval Literature and Languages! (I found out in November but wasn't posting back then) These are all the notebooks I used throughout my MA 📖
