PARIS — Thierry Mugler, the Paris-based fashion and fragrance house owned by Groupe Clarins, has inked a deal with Italy’s Inghirami to manufacture and distribute Thierry Mugler’s men’s wear.
“We are excited about the collaboration with Inghirami and to be able to benefit from their outstanding facilities and expertise in the manufacturing of men’s wear,” said Joel Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance. The first collection will be available in the fall.
Prior to Inghirami, Thierry Mugler’s men’s wear was manufactured by Italy’s Tombolini Group, which owns the Thierry Mugler store in Paris. Under the new licensing agreement, the men’s store will shutter before the end of this year, a Mugler spokesman said.
Thierry Mugler’s men’s wear is available in some 50 multibrand retailers in France, Italy, Canada, the U.S. and Russia.
