EXCERPT: MUGLER. FALL 2024 RTW - PARIS FASHION WEEK

 

"The lingerie out wear trend of 2019 through to 2021, has fallen out of favour on the runways.  Mixed with the eros and carnal, which possibly hinted that a redux of the hedonistic 1970s and early to mid 1980s, could be on the horizon as an emergence of a similar counter culture.  Which has yet to materialize.  Sans, the simarcum of moving back and forth throughout the Four decade timeline, trying to draw out inspiration.  It must be said that fashion doesn't predict futures, but sometimes it offers a clue.

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..."
