  • 1998 Thierry Mugler Documented Runway Sheer Black Silk Asymmetric High-Slit Gown

    ID: 0120242
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

    A totally iconic and highly coveted Thierry Mugler couture black silk asymmetric sheer cut-out hourglass gown dating back to his documented 1998 fall/winter runway collection. Garments from this show are very collectable and incredible hard to find. This legendary French fashion designer is known for bold fashion and edgy, sometimes even campy, theatricality. Though Mugler stopped designing his couture and ready-to-wear lines in 2003 to focus on photography and costume design, his work has a lasting legacy. This seductive black gown, complete with long sheer gloves, is a perfect example of his genius. Not only is this look unforgettable; it is true wearable art. I love the skilled asymmetry with clever double layer over the breast and bra-like strap. The one sided sheer cut-out dips low below the waist, hitting at the hipline. The ultra-high side slit creates even more drama and sex appeal. The hourglass silhouette really has that nod to Old Hollywood glamour days that you see in his best pieces.

    Measurements
    Marked a European 38
    Bust: 33-34 inches
    Waist: 26-27 inches
    Hips: up to 37 inches
    Total Length: 60 inches

    This 1998 Thierry Mugler fall/winter documented designer gown is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or fade. Closes with hidden center back-zipper and complex snaps. Complete with sheer gloves. Only sign of age is a little wear to the strap buckle. Please message for detailed pictures. The level of work to create this piece would only be found in the highest couture of today. Highly wearable and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value. A truly breathtaking Thierry Mugler gown.
