M is for Mugler

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this insane Mugler dress in Soho during a break between NYFW shows. A diehard fan of the 80s and Mugler’s extreme aesthetic, I nearly fainted. Massive shoulder pads, a nipped waist and a gold geometric belt screamed the decade I will forever hold dear. Of course I snatched it up immediately.

Shooting a dress like this needs an extra special touch. It can veer Dallas and Dynasty, hence the voluminous hair, or transport you back to the Havana during it’s prime. I love all of the emotion it conjures. It’s severely strong and theatrical, so you can bet I felt like conquering the world in it. Classic Mugler. Gets me every time.
