Curator's Note

This suit is a clear example of Thierry Mugler’s tailoring, defined by exaggerated proportions: strong, padded shoulders, a tightly cinched waist and a flared hem. It is cut in red lurex and black velvet. The jacket has a V neckline and two decorative matte black cube buttons. Inverted pleats open the peplum, and the front hem falls to asymmetric points. The trousers are red lurex at the front and black velvet at the back, which shows at the side of the leg as a contrast stripe.

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.
