Mugler in Brooklyn
Maria Etkind
This past March I attended the Mugler exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.
Here is an exherbt:
“Thierry Mugler: Couturissime is the first retrospective to explore the fascinating, edgy universe of French designer and creator of iconic perfumes Thierry Mugler. A fashion visionary, Mugler established himself as one of the most daring and innovative designers of the late twentieth century. His bold silhouettes and unorthodox techniques and materials—including glass, Plexiglas, vinyl, latex, and chrome—made their mark on fashion history.”
Mugler was not just an amazing designer he was a man with an surreal point of view. He wanted women to be objects of desire. I loved being able to see Philip Treacy’s hats up close and of course Mr. Pearl’s corsets!
This exhibit was right up there with the Dior exhibit at the V&A Museum in London, Givenchy exhibit Kunstmuseum,The Hauge and Schiaparelli at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Which I have been so fortunate to be able to attend.
Long live couture!
