The SNL performance was also how Klaus and I got to know Thierry Mugler. David gave me and Klaus $1,000 each and told us to go out and buy costumes for the show. We were looking all over the place. We knew we wanted to look futuristic and utilitarian, but couldn’t find the right looks. We couldn’t find shit! Finally, we went to Bendels after searching all day, and went right to the women’s department. We told the woman there we were looking for something black and something red and she said, “well, we just put them away, but we have these Thierry Mugler pieces.” We loved them right away. David was really into them too and had an outfit made to go with ours. I called his outfit the “Chinese airline stewardess” outfit. His band was so not excited, though. They were like, “David, no, no no!” He was supposed to be wearing a suit for SNL, but he saw our dresses and said, “Ooh! I want to match up with you guys!” He gave some orders to someone and a couple hours later they came back with this stewardess blazer and skirt for him. source | image
