Mugler

French designer Thierry Mugler ushered in an era of theatrical and bold dressing with the launch of his namesake label Mugler in 1974. A former ballet dancer, the late designer is known as an essential author of the electric, camp, and glamour-filled aesthetic that swept the scene in the ’80s after a wave of minimalism in the ’70s. The house today—lead by creative director Casey Cadwallader—upholds this popular legacy, with its signature illusion bodysuits making regular appearances on red carpets. Never boring, Mugler is a force of precision, sensuality, and elegance in luxury ready-to-wear.
