Thierry Mugler Les Atlantes Black Spiked Hem Jacket (SS 1989)
Curator’s Note
This black jacket is from Thierry Mugler's Spring/Summer 1989 ready-to-wear collection, Les Atlantes. Inspired by the underwater world, the collection featured marine references, with Mugler incorporating shapes resembling fins and gills into the construction of jackets, dresses and bodysuits. The runway included sculptural tailoring, metallic dresses and elaborate swimwear, with several designs featuring pointed hems and fin-shaped sleeves. This jacket has a plunging V-neckline, padded shoulders and curved seams that extend into a series of pointed panels at the front hem, with matching split cuffs. The construction creates an exaggerated hourglass silhouette, characteristic of Mugler's tailoring. The jacket was presented on the Spring/Summer 1989 runway in white and lilac.

Thierry Mugler
Thierry Mugler founded his Paris house in 1973. Trained as a ballet dancer, he brought an understanding of the body in motion to clothing that treated the figure as something to be sculpted rather than simply dressed. The Mugler silhouette became one of the most recognisable in fashion. Drawing on science fiction, Old Hollywood glamour, fetishism and architecture, his vintage and archive pieces from the 1980s and 1990s are among the most sought-after, and his influence is visible in designers including Alexander McQueen and Daniel Roseberry.
