Mugler X H&M
Calling all Glamazons. H&M Mugler is coming. The capsule collection is a tribute to French haute couture fashion designer Thierry Mugler’s greatest hits of the 80’s and 90’s. The menswear, womenswear and accessories are signature pieces of the designer’s classics. Each style curated by Creative Director Casey Cadwallader features Thierry Mugler’s signature embodying the founder’s legacy as in a black velvet dress with a shaped waist, and puffed sleeves, a lace corset dress, a skirt suit with piercing details, and an acidic green tailored jacket. Accessories too are edgy and sexy include boomerang-shaped earrings, gold body chains and a double brooch connected by a chain.
“This collection is a watershed moment for the house of Mugler — a chance for us to celebrate our history and the pieces that we are beloved for today. The collaboration includes many of our signatures, from catsuits and bodycon dresses to tailoring, denim and beautiful, bold jewellery and accessories.”
For the fashionistas who don’t know the iconic Thierry Mugler was the go to designer for iconic superstars Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Grace Jones, Diana Ross, David Bowie, George Michael, Kim Kardashian and Cardi B. Who can forget Demi Moore in the Mugler dress she wore in Indecent Proposal?
