BEAUTY: Clothing--Mugler

Nicola Formichetti continues to carry on the Thierry Mugler tradition with futuristic, body-conscious clothing. Paris week saw a fantastic SS '12 collection that was inspired by the giants of Italian cinema, Fellini and Pasolini, Japanese comics, and Greek mythology. Indeed, the Mugler models looked like gods striding down the runway in pieces of gold, silver, or bronze body armor (some of it on legs peeking out under shorts!). Lycra and Formichetti's favorite material, rubber, also figured prominently. The collection might have been based on fantasy but several pieces seemed like they would live well in reality like the bifurcated jackets held together by a horizontal strip of rubber and draw string.
