At Paris Fashion Week, the legendary brand Mugler, famous in the 1990s, presented its new spring-summer 2027 collection. While social media discussed the show and recalled the legacy of the late Thierry Mugler, the designer himself seemed to appear among the guests. Known for his viral transformations, makeup artist Alexis Stone once again stunned the fashion crowd: he appeared in public wearing a semi-transparent veil, then removed it, almost perfectly replicating the appearance of the famous couturier. The blogger's entrance provoked both surprise and fear among the guests, according to infohub.kz.
The talented makeup artist called the look a tribute to Mugler. According to him, the transformation was created together with the Mugler team and people from the designer's inner circle.
"The future of the House cannot be separated from the vision of those who stood at its origins. This is a tribute to the legacy that continues to define Mugler today," Stone wrote.
It took about two weeks to create and prepare the makeup, and the work on the beard and mustache of the bald Mugler, according to the makeup artist, took several hours.
Perhaps some of the fashion crowd clearly felt uneasy. Recall that Thierry Mugler passed away four years ago. Social media even called the event absurd and inappropriate sacrilege. In any case, it's not the first time Stone has dressed up as a deceased person. In the same 2022, the makeup artist took on the image of Mrs. Doubtfire — the character played by Robin Williams.
A year earlier, the influencer had embodied another designer — Donatella Versace. Alexis Stone (real name Elliot Joseph Rentz) is originally from Brighton. In an interview, the makeup artist said he taught himself makeup. After leaving school at 16, he moved to London and independently mastered working with prosthetics and makeup.
