Njegov fatalni parfem Angel će ostati upamćen kao prvi „gurme“ miris, tačnije onaj koji koristi jestive sastojke – o, da, čokoladu His fatal fragrance, Angel, will be remembered as the first modern gourmand perfume, or, more precisely, the first in the world to include edible ingredients – oh, yes, chocolate
strip fantasy.
On the 10 th anniversary of the creation of his fashion brand, in 1984, he organised the first fashion show in Europe to be attended by more than 6,000 people, thus drawing more par- allels with mass stadium tours than a chamber presentation on the cat- walk. He provided attendees with an unusual experience – in a desire to extract fashion from the traditional framework of a rigid showroom and studio and take it to the places occu- pied by young people. And that ener- gy and exchange of creative potential was only possible in grandiose, meg- alomaniacal experiences. It is inter- esting – from today’s perspective of a world changed by the coronavirus and strictly defined guest numbers – to see how such a fashion looks: it’s almost as though we’re observing a world that no longer exists. He found understanding from the outset in the likes of Grace Jones, Iman and David Bowie. These were perhaps the first major stars to in- spire him and reciprocate by placing their trust in him. He subsequently bestowed his extraordinary editions on the icons of the 1990s, the entire team of supermodels, the most prom- inent of which were Linda Evange- lista and Naomi Campbell. The cir- cle of his superfans today includes Kim Kardashian, who donned one
of his provocative creations for the Met Gala, and, at the other end of the scale, Beyonce, who engaged him as one of the main collaborators on her world tour. He is also known for having pro- voked controversy with his state- ments that “fashion is not enough”, thereby justifying shows that resem- bled movie scene fantasies. Specifi- cally, he wasn’t satisfied with being called a fashion designer. He consid- ered himself a director, and later even proved successful in that job. His di- rectorial baby is the music video for George Michael’s Too Funky, which is one of the most famous and most extravagant videos – not only in the career of this musician, but in the en- tire history of MTV. He had a similar directorial experience a few years ago, when working on the implementation of a vaudeville style show in the city of excess - Las Vegas. Thanks, Thier- ry, it was fabulous!
