Fashion house MUGLER presented their Spring Summer 2022 Collection with a fashion film directed by Torso Solutions, featuring all star cast including musicians, actresses, supermodels and ballerinas such as Megan Thee Stallion, Chloë Sevigny, Bella Hadid, Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, and Maria Kochetkova among others. With the the third installment of the brand’s trilogy of fashion films, creative director Casey Cadwallader warps America’s East and West Coast in a trompe l’oeil exploration of time and space. The film highlights the importance of being yourself in the world full of counterfeits and clones. The colleciton pays tribute to the late designer Manfred Mugler, and it embraces the duality of the brand.
“In constant movement, the Spring Summer 2022 collection is showcased in 360 ° throughout, revealing the evolution of Mugler shapewear silhouettes, denim, eveningwear and tailoring across a diverse array of bodies. A hothouse palette punctuates the Mugler color card of monochromes, flesh tones and denim, sheathing the body in ombré shades of orchid pinks and purples, vermillion, and coral. Illusion tulle – a new house signature – is applied on bodysuits to carve out impossible necklines in razor- sharp points, replacing lycra elsewhere on floating spiral and corset denim designs. Manfred Mugler’s archive inspires sculpted Perspex hardware – loops and hooks that suspend draped tops, trousers and skirts grazing erogenous zones at the bust and hip. Extending the Mugler repertoire, new dégradé ‘Hoochie’ dresses apply asymmetry of color and drape, whilst an array of cutout bodies and corsets feature gloss lycra panels, structured busts, and gloved sleeves. Tailored wool jackets are sliced open across the décolleté with double straps that wrap around the bust, and jeans spill and flare at the ankle: revealing the new Mugler shoe collection of severe pointed pumps and architectural stiletto sandals with stacked, elongated toes.” – from Mugler
