This vintage Thierry Mugler Fall 1995 skirt suit is an important piece of fashion history. It walked the runway at the Fall 1995 show, which is considered Mugler's most iconic (The New York Times describes it as "The Woodstock of Fashion.") Everything here is classic Mugler, with the nipped waist, offset by the sculptural peplum details at the hips, creating that sexy, exaggerated hourglass shape Thierry Mugler is so known for. Thierry Mugler and his work have been the subject of many a 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. Note how the bodice is built out like a corset, with bra cups built out at the chest, and so many shaping seams. The construction is just unbelievable, and so incredibly flattering! Light shoulder pads round out the silhouette. The trompe l'oeil "shirting" detail is also so special, meant to give the illusion of a white oxford shirt layered under, with the sleeves rolled up. The Fall 1995 collection was a nod to classic menswear motifs, which Thierry Mugler loved to play with and juxtapose with ultra-feminine details. The skirt is fully fitted, and so expertly shaped to sit high on the waist and remain fitted through the hips. Note that the back zip closure is hidden in one of the back darts— again, the craftsmanship here and attention to detail is simply unparalleled. Each of these pieces is just as wonderful worn separately— this set is actually so many different looks in one amazing investment. Made in France of 100% wool, fully lined.

Great vintage condition, with minor wear commensurate with age. On one lapel, there is a very small area where the fabric appears to be slightly puckered; this is extremely minor and not noticeable unless very closely inspected/doesn't pick up in photos.
