Signature Style/ piece “I want my models to be bigger, stronger and taller than common mortals.” —Thierry Mugler
Cutting detail of signature piece • Impractical, rigid, straight-jacket qualities limit the movement of the wearer. • Sculptural yet feminine • represents the idealised female form • contrast and juxtaposition with soft • flesh • Visual parallels can be made between • the design and • Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator
Analysis of designs (cut & construction) 1970’s • Mugler's work over the next two decades had a style that was very much of its time: Shoulders were wide and padded; waists were wasp-like. Prints were banished: Mugler's clothes came in solid, dominating colours. Collars had exaggerated points or flame like cut-outs.
Analysis of designs (cut & construction) 1980-90’s • An hour glass silhouette • Suit demands authority • V-neckline with notched lapel collar • Form-fitting and figure flattering
Who is he (the label) “Thierry Mugler is about the power of glamour and walking straight into the future… I’d like to find new ways for a luxury brand such as Thierry Mugler to excite people”
