Eat your heart out Gaga

No one can argue that Lady Gaga is a pop superstar and a fashion icon. Her style is very avant garde to say the least and whatever brand she wears, it sells like hotcakes for the masses. With the exception of wearing pounds of raw meat of course, fans worldwide have followed her every move. The new Madonna, but don't tell that on Madonna's face or she'll poke your eyes.

Be in known that one of Lady Gaga's (if not her ultimate) favorite fashion label is Mugler, a luxury French brand that has been around since the mid-70s when it's original owner and icon himself, Thierry Mugler, was head designer and creative director of the brand. Thierry Mugler was a powerhouse in it's own rights at the same time as John Paul Gaultier was dressing up Madonna. They were competitors and their brands still exist today, although JPG still reins his own fashion house. Thierry Mugler is also known for his perfume line and women still wear them today. Recently in 2012, Lady Gaga herself has produced her own perfume herself following every other diva in the planet. And of course she named her perfume "Fame." I digress for a second; I don't know the connection but it seems that every famous person in this plant has produced more or less a line of perfume under his or her name.

Presently, the House of Mugler (dropped the first name) is still making gorgeous clothing to the rich and famous. In 2010, Mugler hired a new visionaire and creative director, Nicola Formichetti. At it last collection, Gaga was his muse and rumor has it that she herself bought the whole collection prior to the runway show. But please, don't quote me on that.

In our recent trips to our sources, we found this original piece under the original label, Thierry Mugler. Note the construction and details. It is very avant garde considering it was the 80s. And Lady Gaga will be proud to wear this one, if only the size fits. Note the leather closure in the front-a la Hermes. And see the details on the shoulders. The pockets are hidden in the lower front where the metal snaps are located. How clever!

It is as gorgeous as it is in the back. It comes as Size 42, and it is Made in France. Did I say it is rare and collectible? We don't know, however, if this was done in the fashion house during the reign of Marc Rolland in the 80s or any of the fashion designers following but is definitely a vintage Thierry Mugler.

It is, of course, available in our store on eBay and hopefully some fashionista will be proud to wear it today a la Gaga.
