Description
Model History:
In the 1980s, Thierry Mugler reinvented the feminine silhouette with bold lines, assertive shoulders and an obsession with structure. This dress is a perfect example of this approach: it combines elements of classic couture with futuristic, dramatic details. Colorful satin and architectural volumes, such as full sleeves and draped petticoats, are recurring codes in the designer’s work. This piece testifies to the period when Mugler imposed his powerful, sensual vision of the woman, blending glamour and authority.
Exterior Details:
Fuchsia silk satin offers a delicate sheen and smooth texture to the touch. The dress features a mid-length cut (112 cm high), fitted at the waist with a wide integrated belt, with long batwing sleeves (60 cm) and slightly dropped shoulders (36 cm wide). It closes with a series of silver metal snaps on the front. The skirt is enriched with an asymmetrical petticoat overlay, creating subtle movement with every step. The cuffs are embellished with small coordinating buttons.
Interior details:
The unlined interior lets you appreciate the lightness of pure satin. Finishes are clean, with reinforced seams and carefully worked edges. The original Thierry Mugler Paris label is intact, along with the words “Made in France” and dry-clean-only instructions.
Product Condition:
The dress is in very good condition. The fabric retains all its shine with no apparent discoloration. No snags or structural defects are visible. Snaps are functional and secure. Precise measurements (chest width 54 cm, waist 31 cm, bottom 46 cm) indicate a flowing cut, designed to emphasize the waist while leaving room at the bust.
Care instructions:
Silk satin requires professional dry-cleaning only. It is advisable to store the dress flat or on a padded hanger, away from direct light to prevent color fading. Avoid prolonged rubbing, which could mark the delicate surface of the fabric.
