He was 76. https://www.vogue.com/article/claude-montana-whose-big-shouldered-silhouettes-defined-the-1980s-has-died Oh wow that one is a shock ! I studied him a lot in my fashion classes, he was a key figure of the 80’s with Mugler and Gaultier, particularly known for his leather work if I remember well. A-lister for me but doubt he’s that famous for people non interested in fashion. what’s going on with french deaths ?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
