Ever since the appointment of Nicola Formicetti as creative director,
the MUGLER brand has continued to grow in prominence and popularity.
Consistently ahead of the curve and pushing fashion in new directions, this
latest season has not failed to disappoint – influences range from Star Trek to
Miami Vice (in the form of a fuchsia 70’s power suit), culminating in a
collection that is as retro as it is futuristic.
The collection is brighter than
we have come to expect – bright cobalt blue and futuristic silver jumpers with
contrasting green trim nod to a more playful aesthetic as opposed to the gothic
look favoured in the past. Waistlines of trousers are higher than ever and
teamed with skin-tight turtlenecks to create a variation of outfits more than
vaguely reminiscent of Dr Spock.

Colours aren’t the only area in which contrast was used; slim-fitting
trousers are teamed with oversized jackets to create an imbalanced silhouette
that is highly appealing, whereas Formicetti showed that he hadn’t abandoned
the old influences completely, once again being one of the only menswear
designers to dare to use latex (to fantastic effect).
