The night’s entertainment lineup was curated by close friend to Manfred Thierry Mugler and mother of the underground club scene, Susanne Bartsch. The party kicked off with a DJ in a club-like-space flanked by iconic silhouettes of voguers behind lit screens, a nod to historic 90’s Mugler show staple sets, and broke out into performances by Joe Arias and acrobat, cabaret and burlesque by Amanda Lepore.
