Mugler Mania!

Over the last year, we've brought you scores of rare and archival designs from Thierry Mugler. Add to the multitudes these gorgeous dresses we uncovered during a recent excursion to Paris! Photos of the first dress don't do it justice--it's a vibrant coral viscose with a fascinating embossed web pattern that meets in the center with a silver flame medallion. The next dress crosses a feminine sensibility with the architectural: it features rectangular cutouts notched in pewter at the sides, as well as in front and in back.

The Lighter Side of Mugler

Decades is still the only stop in town for iconic and unusual creations by 1980s designer Thierry Mugler. Below, a great little one-shoulder creation that we found in Paris is the ultimate summer party dress! (If the design looks familiar, it's because listed the same dress in a psychadelic paint splash patter a few weeks ago--click here to see it again!) It's never been worn and fits a contemporary size 2. For those of you seeking something a bit more formal, the dazzling chiffon collar gown listed below features a great color (ice lilac?) and very cool silver hardware at the neck. Though it appears generous, this dress has a fitted slip and fits a contemporary size 4.

Mauve Mugler

This is a really, really, really good Thierry Mugler. We love the dusty rose crepe dress with a subtle yet strong gold lame collar and trim. But it's the seams we are mad for...The rounded shoulder with an inverted seam, the asymmetric hip seams and the unusual wrap detail of the skirt to the back with asymmetric snap closure is so quintessentially Mugler, but in a very wearable manner. We've been feeling Mugler for around 9 months now. Of course, everyone else is following us, but we felt it FIRST!

The most un-Mugler Mugler!

There is an shocking photo posted on blogs of the new and naked Thierry Mugler. Apparently he is now going by the name Manfred Mueller and he hardly looks likes like the man behind the innocent-named fragrance phenomenon Angel. Well, around 20 years ago, it was all-Mugler women wanted to wear. Those Joan Crawford meets C3PO suits look nothing like this one shoulder silk dress with an almost child-like abstract paint-effect pattern. There's an optional skinny belt which we didn't photograph with the dress that matched the print. It has almost a 60s hippy print, with a 70s one shoulder, and an 80s length, but designed in the 90s. This makes it VERY DECADES! It is a deadstock sample but in storage one small snag of the fabric is visible with close inspection. Fits our size 4 mannequin quite well.

ORANGE YOU A FAN OF MUGLER?

By now our avid blog readers have surrendered to our proclaimed MUGLER moment. But readers have also learned that this isn't about your mother's Mugler! We are talking about the softer side of Mugler. Not aggressive worsted-wool, uber-padded suits, but dresses like this orange sherbet one shoulder number below. It's soft, it's sexy, it's goddessy, but it has a certain Mugler-ism: distinctive hardware. Notice the futuristic star sculptured pin on the shoulder. Gives this dress a little "umph." Now it all takes is the right body to fill this dress and give it not only some "umph" but a little "shazam," too. Calling all Wonder Women!

Gorgeous Thierry Mugler Cutout Dress

Decades shoppers know that lately, we've been simply mad for Thierry Mugler. Nor are we the only ones--with futurism making a comback on the catwalk, one can't help but be reminded of the angular, metallic creations that made Mugler an icon of 80s fashion. This white crepe cutout dress is a descent from the rigidity that marked so many of his designs. Beautifully draped strips fall around the bust and arms, falling into a pleated carwash skirt that is distinctively Mugler. Marked as a size 36, fitting a contemporary size 4 or 6.

Thierry Mugler Pre Winter 1990

If you haven't noticed yet we are obsessed with Thierry Mugler at the moment. We just cannot seem to get enough of his astonishing style, zany creations and sexually charged garments.

There is something about Mugler that makes us excited and we hope you are feeling it too. But each piece that we find and make available to you is so of the moment, so right now, so relevant that you almost wonder how he could have been so foreseeing and predict so accurately where fashion would one day go. Dolce and Gabanna eat your heart out. Nicolas Ghesquiere take note! This is the real deal king of futuristic and still sexy dresses.

Thierry Mugler Deadstock

Some people are born blue and others acquire it some certain means. If you need to acquire it then I suggest you do so with a Thierry Mugler dress. The one below is a perfect option for the spring and up coming summer months. Shop ahead and shop early so as not to miss out on any fabulous vintage finds. The halter detail to this dress is the best halter shape there is and frames your chest and shoulders perfectly adding architectural lines while still keeping a feminine quality to your body.
