Mugler brought some drama and bravado to Paris Fashion Week. For autumn-winter 2024, Casey Cadwallader staged a three-act revue show, full of moody curtain drops and a supermodel cast that included Precious Lee, Kristen McMenamy, Eva Herzigova and Farida Khelfa. Curve creating cuts and corsetry, ergonomic body-cons, futuristic fetish wear, that’s 100% modern-day Mugler. From this season’s novelties, the designer included fluttering asymmetric panels that trail as you stride past; in smooth leather or shiny silk they worked to enhance the models’ silhouettes in motion. Tailoring was as sharp as it can get at Mugler, and wide shouldered coats and jackets were worn with padded leather breast plates. Winged hip contours and wired necklines made the clothes look extra-dynamic, as if the Muglerettes were on a mission.
