“I have always tried to sublimate the body and to make people dream.”
Thierry Mugler: Galaxy Glamour now .
While the couture division of Mugler’s House closed in 2003, his aesthetic explored a dramatic narrative
As a tribute to the so-called createur de shoc (“creator of shock”), I invite you to feast upon a series of clips

Thierry Mugler Les défilés Haute Couture
“Fashion is not enough,” Mugler once said. “I am trying to convey sensations and feelings…I am always telling stories…I invent my characters and put them on stage. For me, clothes are a language.”
Les défilés Prêt-à-porter 90
A language, albeit, that is highly-cultivated: structured beyond the ‘natural,’ the free-flowing or colloquial, Mugler’s vocabulary is one steeped in fetishistic visuals and exaggerated ideals.

HAUTE ATTACK!
With special thanks to Nixon Sixx
in this, THE SEVENTH PRIZE RIBBON among
the JARED GOLD/CLINT CATALYST CO-BRANDED MERCHANDISE—
a ‘site exclusive’ for the illustrious
[dot] com
†
Matter of fact, the HMacabre skeleton crew has assembled an on-line boutique
for the erudite enthusiast of shadowed fineries who’s privy to the fact that
one need not spend a million bucks to look like it.
However!
Before my A.D.D.-addled ass has a chance to bifurcate off into scatter-shot territory,
I need to provide the following info — of —
:: where to click :: (HERE!) :: & claim :: First Place as a Hauttie ! ::
†
O.K., then Next:
Look upon a few shop highlights for the darkly inclined, such as
the obscenely affordable black smoke leggings
†
as well as
another collaborative effort with
the gents and ¢ommon ¢ent$ in mind…
(Go ahead & fling the slab of Velveeta at me over that one—I’ll cop the rationale of Twi-hards in my defense: “I don’t know how it happened! I must’ve been roofied or something, ’cause my taste level—I mean, my defenses —were down. Really: I’m really much cooler than that!” )
Mmmm-hrmmm. Right.
All the same, THIS FINE ITEM
is most right-on, indeed!
†
The offspring of joined forces: Haute Macabre with Cyberoptix
(a company worthy its own blog post, truth be told…)
:: rad ties & cravats ::
paired with retinal candy such as the following
drool-worthy [OOPS] impeccable display of DNA at its finest?

—ahem!—
Well, since I’m “already here,” so to speak,
I figured I might as well
Since, you know: there’s a more-than-decent chance I’ll be ogling their URL
frequently
More.Hot.Rivet-Heads.&.Goth.Guys,Plz!
Hrmm. Did you guys hear something?
†
But of course!
Furtive whispers from Thee Cult Ov Thee Fashion-Forward
state the obvious
(That is—for any devotee of Haute Macabre or mine owne Dot Com):
BAM! Be it
