Mugler Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Chang­ing Agenda–Tread­ing closer to the con­ser­v­a­tive rule­book, Mugler takes a more stream­lined approach to the fall/​winter 2012 sea­son. Grav­i­tat­ing towards the suit as the collection’s core base, a bet­ter apti­tude for wear­able gar­ments is exe­cuted but a bold spirit still remains. Cast in black, bur­gundy and mid­night blue, the man of Mugler is placed at a cross­roads. While sev­eral jack­ets, capes and other fine items show a hand at tai­lor­ing and fine fit, oth­ers tend to mask sub­stance with style. With silk and worked fab­ri­ca­tions mak­ing their debut and dis­sect­ing designs, Mugler is at once a foot for­ward with inter­est, but a mixed sig­nal when arriv­ing at a cohe­sive union of style, con­struc­tion and intent.
