Strong-shouldered navy pinstripe overcoat over open knit top and stirrup leggings

Savile Row pinstripe pushed to exaggerated, peaked shoulders and an ankle-length line, then undercut by a high-neck top unfastened down the torso and a gold belt: power tailoring with deliberate exposure.

Traditions in the collection

Cultural influences →

1 of Mugler's 95 looks draw on a specific dress or craft tradition, as read from the photographs. The house is based in France.

  • Pankou / frog closures · China · East AsiaLook 1

    France → China

    “Corded loop-and-knot closures spaced down an open centre front, below a standing high collar, recall Chinese pankou fastenings, reworked as an open, skin-baring placket.”
