Thierry

French designer Thierry Mugler, who reigned over fashion in the 1980s and died on Jan. 23, was as famous for his fantastical couture as for his blockbuster fashion shows. He was 73.

Mugler's daring collections came to define the decade's power dressing, with his clothes noted for their structured and sophisticated silhouettes, showcased by his extravagant shows.

European Union Industry Commissioner Thierry Breton said on Friday the EU was heading this year towards a 5-10 percent economic contraction due to the new coronavirus outbreak.
