Size: medium

Condition: excellent

A super seductive and highly coveted Thierry Mugler couture black silk and ivory satin strapless bustier hourglass gown dating back to his 1999 spring/summer collection. 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. Not only is this hourglass gown unforgettable, it is true wearable art. I love the built-in padded bustier which creates the most flattering shape. The asymmetric ivory satin trim gives the dress a innovative three-dimension sculptural effect. The ultra-high side slit fully lined in matching ivory satin 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.
