Thierry Mugler 1980s Crimson Wool Coat

Fashion as sculpture, as avant-garde expression, as spectacle: Thierry Mugler’s career pushed the boundaries of what fashion design and clothing could mean. In the 1980s and ’90s, Mugler galvanized the renaissance of haute couture through his provocative collections and theatrical fashion shows, which involved grandiose locations and the era’s most iconic models. Featured here is a archival example of classic Mugler style. From the late 80s, this coat has a dress effect with a slight wrap bottom, slant envelope pockets, and the coolest star buttons. Sharp lines and seams. Collared top with classic Mugler shoulder pads for extra definition at the shoulders. Gorgeous, high-quality 100% wool fabric in a deep scarlet red with purple undertones.
