EXCERPT: MUGLER. FALL 2024 RTW - PARIS FASHION WEEK.

 "...Yet, it could be argued that the late Thierry Mugler who set the amorous stage for his signature label in the 1970s, steered the course for these hedonic arrays, until he retired from the fashion industry in 2002.  That it began, and ended with his legacy.  So, it would have been a hard task to find a designer that could match Thierry's Avant-garde sophistication of the sexual, yet Casey Cadwallader has been to fit the Mugler risqué, without being overly confined to emulating Thierry's template.  But, when all said and done, it would have been a hard task without the Mugler name, for Cadwallader to set his own inspired presidence.  Considering, since Thierry Mugler's passing in 2022, the high-end makeup and cosmetic conglomerate Clarins who owns the Thierry Mugler brand name. Would have indeed mounted the pressure, that Cadwallader keep to Mugler's established timeline.

Hence, the movie inspired clips and their lookbooks, Thierry was a fan of movie and costume design, as Cadwallader, since the pandemic, has mostly offered Mugler to be more of an exclusive impression, rather than any broader market appeal.  Which in turn has paid off, ensuing that the exclusivity and celebrity driven looks, have kept Cadwallader's balanced influence over Mugler in tact..."
