Vauthier recalls his time with Mugler fondly: "My years at Mugler were extremely formatives at all levels. He taught me to be resourceful, find solutions very quickly." [2]

In 2009, he did his first fashion show with his own label, during Paris Fashion Week. [3] Ever since, Christian Louboutin does the shoes for Vauthier's fashion shows. [4]

In 2011, after getting a makeover to Beyoncé for her album 4 , [7] he created yule logs for the Grande Epicerie de Paris. [8]

For the year 2012 he was the art director for the Premium range of brand Pyrenex. [9] The same year Madonna chose him to create the look on the cover of her single Girl Gone Wild . [10]

In 2014, he created goodies for Lancôme with Jacquemus and Yiqing Yin. [11]

From 2011 to 2014 he was a guest member of the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture. Since December 2014, he is an official member, his fashion house being able to use the term "haute couture". [12] [13]

Style

Alexandre Vauthier's collections mostly consist of black and gold. [14] White and Silver also remained prominent in his collection. [15] For the fall-winter 2011–2012 seasons, the collection was all-red. [16]

His clothes often feature Swarovski crystals and embroideries by Maison Lesage. [17]

We can find a "V" (which stands for his name, Vauthier) on several clothes, [18] as well as the jewelry.

Manfred Thierry Mugler was a French fashion designer, creative director and creative adviser of Mugler. In the 1970s, Mugler launched his eponymous fashion house; and quickly rose to prominence in the following decades for his avant-garde, architectural, hyperfeminine and theatrical approach to haute couture. He was one of the first designers to champion diversity in his runway shows, which often tackled racism and ageism, and incorporated non-traditional models such as drag queens, porn stars, and transgender women. In 2002, he retired from the brand, and returned in 2013 as the creative adviser.

<i>Haute couture</i> Creation of exclusive, custom-fitted clothing

Haute couture is the creation of exclusive custom-fitted high-end fashion design. The term haute couture is French, "haute" meaning "high" or "elegant," and "couture" translating to "sewing" or "dressmaking." The term haute couture generally refers to a specific type of upper garment common in Europe during the 16th to the 18th century, or to the upper portion of a modern dress to distinguish it from the skirt and sleeves. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Paris became the centre of a growing industry that focused on making outfits from high-quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable of sewers—often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Couture translates literally from French as "dressmaking", sewing, or needlework and is also used as a common abbreviation of haute couture and can often refer to the same thing in spirit.
