Migler was born in 1948 in the French city of Strasbourg.
He started his career in the theater as an acrobat and professional dancer.
"That's when I realized that there are no boundaries," he later said about his dancing career.
After opening a boutique in Paris in 1974, Migler became one of the leading figures in world fashion by the beginning of the eighties.
His eye-catching creations, with an emphasis on broad shoulders and plunging necklines, marked the extravagant style of the eighties.
Rejecting the label of fashion designer, Migler called himself a director, believing that fashion "must be presented in a musical and theatrical setting."
His fashion shows became more and more theatrical, and featured some of the most famous models of the era, such as Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.
Among his most famous creations is a corset that seemed to stop traffic, designed for a spring show in 1992.
An integral part of the corset were the rear-view mirrors and the steering wheel of the motorcycle.
Among the younger generations, Migler was promoted by Beyoncé, who wore this corset on the album I'm...Sasha Firs of 2008..
One of Migler's biggest fans was David Bowie, who appeared in his creation on Saturday Night Live (Saturday Night Live) in 1979.
Migler later designed a black tuxedo for Bowie for his wedding to model Iman in 1992.
Migler also designed George Michael's outfit for the song's music video Too Funkz,, in which many models appeared, including Linda Evangelista.
One of Migler's most famous creations was the long black dress that actress Demi Moore wore in the film Indecenton offer of 1993..
Migler retired from high fashion in XNUMX, turning to other creative projects.
He achieved an extremely successful partnership with Beyoncé, who hired him as the creative director of her world tour on the occasion of the release of the album "Ja sam... Saša Firs" in 2009.
He returned from fashion retirement to create a crystal-encrusted latex "wet dress" for reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian, which she wore to the famous 2019 Met Gala Donors Dinner, introducing Migler to a new generation of fans.
The corset she wore under the dress was so tight that Kardashian said she couldn't sit down.
Migler rarely gave interviews, but in 2019, in an interview for an American magazine, allowed readers to peek into his creative world.
"I think it's important for people to fully realize themselves," he said.
"I have always been fascinated by the human body and I wanted to pay tribute to all its reach and possibilities".
