Mugler, who launched his brand in 1973, became known for his architectural style, defined by broad shoulders and a tiny waist.
The fashion world is filled with an outpouring of sympathy.
Bella Hadid, a US model, said “Nonononono”, followed by an image of a sad face, while US actress January Jones responded with a heart mark, from their official Instagram accounts.
Besides clothes, Mugler created films and photographs, and was a dancer, acrobat as well as avid bodybuilder, stressing he always wanted to explore the human body as art.
“I’ve always felt like a director, and the clothes I did were a direction of the every day,” Mugler told Interview Magazine.
Queries on his funeral arrangements were not immediately answered.
