What is the Mugler style?

1 Answer
What is the Mugler style?
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.
