>> Thierry Mugler shuttered his couture line back in 2003 and has primarily pursued fragrance since, but he's slowly creeping back into fashion. Along with serving as creative adviser on everything from lighting to choreography for Beyonce's current tour, he also contributed 58 or so costumes for the spectacle.

The house was re-opened in 2008 under the creative direction of Rosemary Rodriguez, who has since shown several menswear collections and a small womenswear capsule collection during Paris Fashion Week back in March. Yesterday at Moscow Fashion Week, she sent out a mix of new creations and archive pieces down the runway, and word is, reports Fashion Week Daily, "Mugler has privately set next October as the re-launch date for the ready-to-wear effort - to be shown in Paris - with Rodriguez fully in charge."

>> INSIDER WIRE — L'Wren Scott is like the fashion jack of all trades: She's modeled, styled, designed, acted as muse . . . and she's even infamously worn a Thierry Mugler dress with a "pubic neckline," explaining: "The things we do, darling." Also, her "obsession"? It has nothing to do with fashion: just plain-old Purell hand sanitizer. [NYT T Magazine]

Thierry Mugler, Born-Again

>> After five years of nothing, Thierry Mugler womenswear is ripe for revival. A capsule collection, dubbed Thierry Mugler Edition, will be presented next week, as designed by Rosemary Rodriguez, who worked closely with Mugler from 1994 to 1999.

The revival was prompted by growing demand (see Naomi Watts' and Caroline Trentini's Costume Institute Gala dresses, left) and by the resurgence of Mugler shapes in other designers' work. Emphasis is now being placed on retaining but also modernizing the sharp-shouldered Mugler silhouette.

Meanwhile, Thierry himself is still acting as artistic director for the house's beauty lines . . .
