Curator's Note

Thierry Mugler's designs of the late 1980s and early 1990s frequently incorporated elements of traditional corsetry, with boned bodices, pronounced waistlines and exaggerated necklines. This red cotton corset top features a series of pointed panels rising above the chest, with stitched seams and internal boning. The fitted waist extends into a short, angular peplum. A silver version of the corset was photographed on Iman at photographer Herb Ritts' 39th birthday celebration in New York on 10 August 1991.

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.
