• This is a great vintage Mugler piece that is wonderfully minimalist in feel and easy to wear.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler
• The jumpsuit is made out of a soft black silk that has a beautiful soft drape to it.
• The cut is very simple and easy but at the same time the lines make it feel dramatic and a true statement piece. It is that perfect mix of being very minimalist yet very striking.
• The neckline scoops wide across the front and then that scoop continues down into an open V at the back. A panel extends out from one side of the V and wraps across the back and comes to the front. The fabric is gathered into a loop at one side of the waist that has an opening underneath. The panel from the back loops through that opening and snaps into place to create the knot detail at the waist that you see in the photos. This is a very clever way to keep the front feeling minimalist but with an unexpected detail. I also love the bare flash of skin that it exposes through the upper back.
• The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long with a slight flare as they reach their ends. The sleeves are low down the side and that line of having them wider near the body and then narrowing and flaring back out is gorgeous.
• The waist has a bit more generous feel to it but you still get shape by the knot at the side where the panel attaches in from the back as described above.
• It skims over the hips and then the legs are cut wide to the hem. Once they are on the body they pick up on the flared feel of the sleeves. At the very top and across the hips you can see how he has added extra silk and carried it up and across to meet up and into the knot at the waist. It is all cut brilliantly and is very flattering once on the body.
  
• The jumpsuit is fully lined in a black silk except for the sleeves. It closes with a hidden set zipper at the back, and then the panel runs over that and attaches in at the front as described above.

• This is a phenomenal dress that we believe dates to the early to mid 1980s.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• Mugler was a masterpiece of draping and cut and this is a fantastic example of that. It is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• It is made out of a black silk chiffon that sits over an inner structured and boned bodice. The dress under that is a play on transparency. The way the silk is draped in parts make some of it less transparent. The silk is gathered and placed to wrap around the body and emphasizes your curves.
• A panel of fabric extends up to create a single strap that wraps and hooks into place around the neck. A little half bow extends out to sit at the top of your back shoulder. The strap extends across the back on an angle to leave the rest of your back bare.
• The panels drapes upwards on one side and other panels extends down to wrap around the hips. Panels are caught up at the back of the waist to leave ties hanging down the side, picking up on the tie at the top of the shoulder. The body of the dress extends down to just above the knee, depending on your height. A single layer of bias cut silk chiffon is set in under that to create the lower skirt. It falls to the floor in a sweep of chiffon and adds incredible movement as you move.
• The bodice has a built in corset that closes with a series of hooks and then there is a zipper set under that. There is a layer of chiffon through the body of the dress. The neck strap snaps into place with hidden set snaps.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.

• We believe the dress is from the 1986 collection and Kim Kardashian wore its twin in 2008.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• The fabric that it is made out of is a light in weight metallic gold fabric that drapes beautifully and has a beautiful deep gold tone to it.
• The dress is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• The bodice is strapless. One side is curved and is gathered in underneath the other side. There is a peaked panel that folds down to create a little flap on the other side.
• A panel of the metallic gold fabric extends out from the side with the peaked bodice and this buckles into a gold metal buckle belt coming around from the back. This creates a heavy gathering at that side that sweeps up and adds shape through the waist area.
• The buckle is metal and is signed at the back. These would have been specifically made for Mugler.
• The skirt falls under that with a bit of a curving hem at the front so that it is all brought upwards as you can see in the photos. It is meant to feel hourglass in shape.
• This is a spectacular and very rare example of his work.
  
• I love how the entire dress shimmers in the light because of the gold metallic fabric.
• The dress is lined through the bodice with a more structured fabric that creates an inner built-in corset that is boned and cupped. The skirt is fully lined in a lighter feeling silk. It closes at the back with a zipper and then buckles around the waist with the attached buckle belt. The actual interior of the Terry Mugler tag has been cut out.

• Excellent condition with a bit of wear above the grommets and on the belt buckle.

• This dress has been dated by the one that is its twin and was part of the 2014 exhibit 'Chicago Styled'.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• The dress is made out of a light in weight metallic gold fabric that drapes beautifully and is perhaps a touch paler gold than how it photoed here.
• The dress is cut with Mugler's masterful eye and attention to detail.
• It drapes up and over the shoulders with wide panels of the gold. On one side the fabric is heavily gathered and hooks in at the waist underneath. On the other side the dress comes out from under that and is not as gathered so that it falls more down and over the top of the shoulder.
• The side with the wider shoulder is set into a panel that runs down the opposite side of the dress.
• This panel is finished with gold studs and this is where the dress closes. The panel runs all the way down the side to where it splits for the hem. There is even a weight added inside the base of the panel to hold the dress perfectly in place.
• The body of the dress is all gathered into that side panel. It wraps around you and then is gathered into the panel at the back. This creates incredible draping down the body and around you.
• The vertical side panel draws the dress up a few inches above the hem and this then creates a bit of an angled curve along the lower hem of the dress that beautifully picks up the angles on the bodice.
• This is a spectacular and very rare example of his work.
• The dress snaps to close where you see the studs at the side and underneath that there is a hidden set zipper. A grosgrain ribbon wraps around the waist and is attached to the part of the bodice that tucks underneath the crossing over at the front to hook to close inside the dress. It is very cleverly put together. 
• I love how the entire dress shimmers in the light because of the gold metallic fabric.
• The dress is partially lined through the bodice and fully lined through the skirt. There are little padding shells set through the inner shoulders but it feels like their inner padding has been removed at some point. It would be easy to add padding back in if you preferred a stronger shoulder.
• There is no size tag present so please go by the listed measurements below.
• Excellent condition

Bust: approx 14-19" flat across from side seam to side seam
Inner hooked stay at waist: 12.5" flat across from side seam to side seam. Without the stay the waist is 13.75" flat across

• This wonderful and very rare dress is from the the Fall 1986 "Hiver Russe" collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Thierry Mugler.
• 'Mugler saw the fashion show as an opportunity to build new worlds of fantasy, to tell the story of a heroine on an extraordinary adventure each season.' Early pieces of his work are particularly hard to find. I have included several reference photos from the show of pieces that share similar fabric, pleating techniques and that amazing shell feel of the bust.
• We have also included some try on photos from the original owner that show you how it looks on. For reference she is about 5'4" and a size 0-2
• The twin of this dress is currently being exhibited in the "Azzedine Alaia/Thierry Mugler 1980-1990" exhibit at the Azzedine Alaia foundation in Paris 
• The dress is a masterpiece. This is a design that has been referenced countless times since it was first made but there is nothing out there that can compare to the original.
• It is made from a lightweight gold lurex that is draped and shaped to cover a fitted inner corset.
• This inner corset shapes the body while the exterior of the dress seems to simply glide over your curves.
  
• The bodice is amazing. A weightless knife pleated metallic gold lurex is wrapped around the body to meet in the middle. The bottom portion of this extends and curves down and around the hips where it then flares out to exaggerate your curves. Each breast is held in a high set interior cup and the pleats wrap over these, flaring out in the suggestion of having the breasts cupped and held in place by two shells. A small panel of pleated gold fabric strap sits between the cups for added detailing.
• The pleats curve around the back to meet in the middle there mimicking the front and adding to that hourglass feel.
• The skirt is cut to be fitted and curves in at the hem. 
• Gold coloured snaps close the back and under those lie hidden interior lingerie hooks to close the corseted portion of the interior.
• I love how the entire dress shimmers in the light because of the gold metallic fabric.
• It is a rare dress and showcases his extraordinary approach to the female form and his tendency to made living sculptures out of his models. I have seen pieces selling for the $10,000USD mark and higher recently.
• The skirt is fully lined in an ivory silky rayon and the bodice lined in a the same gold lame used on the exterior. The corset is lightly boned and with formed and sculpted interior breast cups. Above the waist the inner corset hooks to close with lingerie hooks and then the exterior fabric snaps to close over that. A zipper is set below that starting at the waist. I see a couple of minor marks on the interior, a small tear on one side where it was tacked to the inner bodice, and the skirt has been shortened as mentioned above.

• This is a great vintage Mugler piece that is wonderfully minimalist in feel and easy to wear.

• The jumpsuit is made out of a soft black silk that has a beautiful soft drape to it.
• The cut is very simple and easy but at the same time the lines make it feel dramatic and a true statement piece. It is that perfect mix of being very minimalist yet very striking.
• The neckline scoops wide across the front and then that scoop continues down into an open V at the back. A panel extends out from one side of the V and wraps across the back and comes to the front. The fabric is gathered into a loop at one side of the waist that has an opening underneath. The panel from the back loops through that opening and snaps into place to create the knot detail at the waist that you see in the photos. This is a very clever way to keep the front feeling minimalist but with an unexpected detail. I also love the bare flash of skin that it exposes through the upper back.
• The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are long with a slight flare as they reach their ends. The sleeves are low down the side and that line of having them wider near the body and then narrowing and flaring back out is gorgeous.
• The waist has a bit more generous feel to it but you still get shape by the knot at the side where the panel attaches in from the back as described above.
• It skims over the hips and then the legs are cut wide to the hem. Once they are on the body they pick up on the flared feel of the sleeves. At the very top and across the hips you can see how he has added extra silk and carried it up and across to meet up and into the knot at the waist. It is all cut brilliantly and is very flattering once on the body.
  
• The jumpsuit is fully lined in a black silk except for the sleeves. It closes with a hidden set zipper at the back, and then the panel runs over that and attaches in at the front as described above.
