Once again, he oversaw all the details of the completely outrageous show, which aired on television, in full and live on the local TV network Paris Première. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brand, the designer repeated the experience, but this time at the Cirque d'Hiver venue. In an exceptional turn of events, Thierry Mugler coordinated everything himself, from the lights to the set, including the 250 outfits that were shown to a soundtrack compiling the hits of the time.

In the first half of the 20th century, Haute couture creations were presented on models to a handful of valued clients and a few journalists in the intimacy of small private rooms. Closing the week that saw the fashion crowd packed as usual into to tight venues, Giorgio Armani took his collection online, with models parading the collection in an empty theater as the show streamed around the globe.Presenting a collection did not always involve spectacular shows.
