A MUGLER MAN

Mugler S/S 12 - 'Brothers of Arcadia'

Inspired by Greek gods with a mixture of school uniforms and the 80's club scene, it would seem. Nicola Formichetti was inspired by fantasy, dreams and voyeurism; with the accessibility of pornography and uploading films onto Xtube, this was a chance to cut out the middle man and make an erotic fashion film to accompany an erotic S/S 12 collection.

I love the cut as always (obsessed with those half jackets) and the unusual pastel green and lilac colour palette. I didn't think i'd see a season where Mugler would out-colour Jil Sander, I'm excited for the change though.

MUGLER AW11

So, the Mugler show last night caused quite a stir with everyone glued to their laptop screens for the live stream. Before the catwalk actually began we were shown around backstage, front of house, models dressing, Gaga practicing her walk through, even Anna Wintour's phone conversations. It was a different experience to say the least!

Then the models came out and we were transported back to the 90's with the girls attitude (everyone who watched the McQueen documentary last week will know what I mean - a different time!)

I'm completely in love with the tight bra-lets, so flattering; whilst the sheer exposed large fishnet legs and nipples galore. The wool suits with alien shoulder pads and latex bras poking out felt like a very modern Mugler woman.

I think Nicola Formichetti has done the perfect job of bringing Mugler forward without watering it down in any way.

Trends: Pops of colour, mainly in yellow and red; Wide legged trousers; shiny patent fabrics; and structured tailoring, especially in large statement coats. 

The menswear this season has been exceptional so far, the trends emerging are really fresh and pushing the boundaries enough to excite, I've already heard men asking how they are going to work a pair of wide legged trousers into their wardrobe.

MUGLER

Thierry Mugler Menswear A/W 11/12 completely stole my heart. Nicola Formichetti can do no wrong in my eyes and now he's at the helm of Mugler things are going to keep getting better. The soundtrack to the video by Lady Gaga is super hot, it's a re worked song from 'Born this Way'.
