Known for bringing the brand to the masses with the help of Lady Gaga and his go-to model Rick “Zombie Boy” Genest, Nicola had definitely taken the brand, especially it’s handbags, to new heights.
In a statement from Joël Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance Group and director general of Mugler, it was stated:
“Nicola has accomplished our original mission of bringing his energy to the brand. With his talent for communication and understanding modern imagery and design, Nicola has been instrumental in attracting a new audience, which is undeniably crucial for the future strategy of the house. He will be a historical part of the Mugler legacy and known as the force that catapulted us forward.”
