Today's avant-garde designers -including the Frenchmen Claude Montana, Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Azzedine Alaia - strike out in many directions. But, while some seem radical, they are actually reworking themes from the past, borrowing from periods before the 1960's.

Thierry Mugler, whose name has been synonymous with elaborately staged fashion shows, offered a straightforward presentation for the first time in his showroom at 130 Rue du Faubourg St. Honore. Six shows, spread over the first three days of the spring and summer openings here, each played to audiences of about 100 people. It was quite possible to see the clothes clearly and not be mesmerized by theatrical effects.
Instead of a classic runway exhibition, Mugler has taken over the Salle du Zenith (a pop-music concert hall) and sold tickets for 4,000 of the 6,000 seats because, as he has always claimed, 'fashion is a spectacle'.

Mugler's English is nearly perfect. He picked it up while designing for two way-out boutiques in London - Mr. Freedom and Mother Wouldn't Like It - in the mid-1960s.
There were short-term jobs with firms in London and Paris, with limited success until six years ago, when he designed a raincoat with a full skirt that sold by the thousands.
