This vintage Thierry Mugler bouclé wool jacket and skirt set is giving a very Cher from Clueless vibe. Thierry Mugler and his work have been the subject of countless museum retrospective for a reason: he is responsible for defining the fashion landscape of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with his unabashedly feminine, sensual, borderline-campy perspective. Circa 1980s, this suit is crafted from a wonderful wool bouclé in a vibrant shade of tangerine orange. The fabric has a beautiful slub to it. The jacket is complete with Mugler's signature exaggerated lapels, with a deep V giving way to a nipped waist, creating a flattering hourglass shape, along with the dropped shoulders. The jacket has a cropped silhouette making it perfect for mixing and layering with so many other pieces. This set is so well made, with so many intricate design details: flattering topstitching at the lapels and the curved detail at the hem accentuate the shapes. The skirt has a very fitted shape, with a high waist and shaping seams down the front and darts at the back. The jacket is lined while the skirt is not; the skirt closes with a zipper and 2 snaps at waistband. Made in France of 100% wool. The Vintage 1950s Crystal Waterfall Necklace and Vintage Gucci Heeled Loafers pictured are also available.
Measurements: Will best fit a modern size X-Small; it is worth noting that the zipper on the skirt goes lower than widest point of hips, making it possible to squeeze into if you're worried it'll be on the small side. Shown on a size Small and the skirt is snug but it still closes. Please refer to below measurements to be sure; marked a French size 38 but please note that this does not correspond with modern sizing.
