What is the Mugler style?
1 Answer

The Mugler style is avant-garde and dramatic. Thierry Mugler's career pushed the boundaries of what fashion design and clothing could mean. Mugler became known for his immaculate tailoring as well as for his increasingly experimental designs that featured sharp cuts, sexy and fetishistic elements and an integration of metal and uniquely treated materials like PVC and leather. Recent years have seen Mugler's archival designs, especially from his 1995 haute couture show, take center stage, coinciding with the resurgence of camp in fashion and the return of bodycon dresses. Mugler's influence on over-the-top fashion can be seen in the work of designers such as Jeremy Scott and Alexander McQueen. Explore an assortment of Thierry Mugler apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

Complete look from Thierry Mugler’s Prêt-à-porter Fall Winter 1998 collection titled “Lingerie Revisited". Photographed by Helmut Newton for Thierry Mugler's Fall Winter 1998 look-book. This ensemble was also featured in a Neiman Marcus campaign for Harper's Bazaar, September 1998 on actress Estella Warren.
The jacket is made from black wool. It features a squared notched lapel, V- neckline and lightly padded shoulders. A dramatic hourglass silhouette emphasised by lines of rhinestone embellishments in the shape of corset seam-lines . The rhinestones are also featured on the cuff of each sleeve.
Completed by a chiffon skirt and shorts set. A lighter variation of the runway look which was presented in a more structured fabric. The chiffon is a clear continuation of Thierry Mugler’s “Lingerie Revisited” theme, balancing structure with sensuality.
