PARIS (AP) — The fashion industry is deep in musical chairs this Paris season, and Thursday’s spotlight swung to a Mugler debut.
Mugler defined the 1980sThierry Mugler’s DNA is no small inheritance: 1980s bravado, Amazonian shoulders, theater, and an unapologetic embrace of rubber and PVC.
If former designer Casey Cadwallader’s Mugler defined seduction as engineering — corseted waists, architectural hips, glossed-over surfaces — Freitas’ debut kept the charge but tightened the cut.
He reopened the playbook and ran classic Mugler moves — shoulder/waist control, latex sheen, dramatic feathers, theater — with an insider’s discipline.
He didn’t rewrite Mugler; he set it to full volume — and people left talking.
