About the Item

Featured during the "Thierry Mugler, Couturissime" exhibition at the "Musée des Arts Décoratifs" in Paris in 2021-2022 and at the "Brooklyn Museum" in New York in 2022-2023 (see picture 4), this 1995 Spring-Summer Mugler corset skirt suit is a true museum worthy piece. For the 2020 Mugler Spring-Summer collection, artistic director Casey Cadwallader reinterpreted this iconic design. The result was this mesh corset cropped jacket that Bella Hadid wore for the first look of the fashion show (see picture 15), together with a mesh corseted mini dress for the look 6 of the same fashion show (see picture 16). In May 2023, this iconic design was also the inspiration behind a sought-after blazer item in the collaboration between the giant H&M and Thierry Mugler. Last but not least, the first version (which was laced) of this truly fantastic archival piece walked the runway on Mugler's muse Connie Fleming for the 1992 Fall-Winter couture collection (see picture 14). Expertly tailored, the jacket features notched lapels, two flap pockets and a fitted boned semi sheer black mesh corset waist, topped with a ravishing bow. Partly lined, it fastens with a concealed zip and two hidden press buttons. The padded shoulders add structure. Part of the suit, the mini skirt has a kind of V-shaped waistband (see picture 15). Fully lined, it is designed to sit just below navel. Both jacket and mini skirt are labeled a vintage French size 38 (US 6 / UK 10 / IT 42) but runs small to size. A truly "one of a kind" piece of fashion history. So "femme fatale" ! So Mugler ! Fits approx. : US 2-4 / UK 6-8 / FR 34-36 / IT 40-42 Measurements (taken flat) : Jacket -> Width (shoulder to shoulder) approx. 38 cm (14.96 inches) Width (armpit to armpit) approx. 46 cm (18.11 inches) Waist approx. 33 cm (12.99 inches) Side length (shoulder to hem) approx. 62.5 cm (24.61 inches) Sleeve length approx. 54.5 cm (21.46 inches) Total back middle length approx. 68.8 cm (27.09 inches) Skirt -> Waist approx. 38 cm (14.96 inches) Hips approx. 46.5 cm (18.31 inches) Side length (waist to bottom hem) approx. 37 cm (14.57 inches) Midline length (from "V" between waist to bottom hem) approx. 33.5 cm (13.19 inches) This item has been professionally cleaned, pressed & carefully inspected by a couture-trained seamstress before being sold.

Thierry Mugler

Fashion as sculpture, as avant-garde expression, as spectacle: Thierry Mugler’s career pushed the boundaries of what fashion design and clothing could mean.

Mugler, who went by Manfred in later years, founded his brand in 1973 with his first personal collection. By the late 1990s, he was more famous for his fragrances, thanks to the brand’s best seller Angel. But vintage Mugler dresses and gowns have recently returned to red carpets, worn by stars like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B and Hailey Bieber.

Mugler’s penchant for performance, drama and costuming came from his background in ballet, having danced as a teenager with the Opéra national du Rhin in his hometown of Strasbourg, France. In the 1980s and ’90s, his couture shows were theatrical and futuristic, similar to those of his contemporaries Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix.

In one of Mugler’s shows, the then-pregnant legendary supermodel Pat Cleveland (part of the coterie of glamorous muses associated with designer Halston) was suspended from the ceiling and then glided down the runway surrounded by clouds of smoke.

Mugler would become known for his immaculate tailoring as well as for his increasingly avant-garde designs that featured sharp cuts, sexy and fetishistic elements, 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.

The French cosmetics company Clarins SA acquired Mugler’s brand in 1997, and its founder stepped back from the label in 2002. The house’s roster of clients has included some of the most visionary figures in fashion, from David Bowie and Diana Ross to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, and the founder’s influence on over-the-top fashion can be seen in the work of designers such as Jeremy Scott and Alexander McQueen.
