Born in Germany in 1948, Mugler moved to Paris to become a ballet dancer. I'm sure this influenced the way he gracefully shapes the body with his highly-formed clothing. His clothes are like architecture for the body, and accentuate your curves in the most amazing way. Though his first collection dates to 1973 (and we actually have a dress from one of the first collections), he rose to prominence in the 1980's with wild, dramatic shapes reminiscent of Jane Jetson, Blade Runner, space-age futurism, along with padded and peplumed forms from suits of the 1940's. Pure genius!
This is a trio of Mugler from our collection - left, black and white wool suit, size 38, $525
center, white wool suit with spectaculary exaggerated peplum and chrome hardware, size 36, $650
right, black and white tuxedo style dress, never worn with original tags, size 36, $650
OK, as I'm adding photos, they are being scattered all over the page in places where I'd never intended. Until I learn to blog correctly, and use HTML to get proper photo placement, I hope you will be patient. The photos and text are a mess, but I'm loving the content.
So, there are three photos of a black velvet dress, trimmed with black satin, that slings over one shoulder, with a sexy asymmetrical cutout and a scandalous slit up the side - a work of art, size 40, $650
The white suit has the most incredible draping I've seen - fitted waist, long flowing drape at the sides and back, and a drape over one shoulder down the center of the back, belted, with a simple straight skirt, never worn with its original tags, 100% poly, with the feel of very fine gabardine, size 36, $750
Yes, I have a lot more Mugler in the marcjoseph collection, but I'm going to work on this photo placement problem before I post anything else. Email me and I'll be glad to show more.
