Description
Design History:
Thierry Mugler made fashion history with his architectural jackets, powerful shoulders and futuristic vision of women’s clothing. In the 1980s-1990s, his creations revolutionized the codes of tailoring, blending couture rigor with sculptural inspiration. This jacket perfectly embodies this period, when the hourglass silhouette, accentuated by epaulets and a clean waistline, became a signature. It is part of the power dressing heritage popularized by Mugler, and represents a striking example of the structured elegance of the period.
Exterior Details:
Crafted in intense blue wool, the jacket features a short cut (63 cm high), structured by curved seams that define the bust line. The broad shoulders (42 cm) are reinforced by integrated shoulder pads, while the long sleeves (56 cm) follow a fluid line. The collar features triangular openings that energize the neckline and offer a discreet graphic detail. Closure is by a centered metal button, providing a subtle contrast. The proportions (46 cm chest, 40 cm waist, 50 cm bottom) ensure a snug yet comfortable fit.
Interior Details:
The matching blue silk inner lining ensures a comfortable, flowing fit. The internal finishing is meticulous, with reinforced seams and a visible “Thierry Mugler Paris” authenticity label. A label certifying the use of virgin wool confirms the quality of the materials used.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in very good condition. The wool shows no pilling, the color has remained vivid, and the seams are intact. The button closure is original and perfectly functional. No snags or stains to report.
Care instructions:
We recommend that you take this piece to a dry cleaner specializing in old textiles or virgin wool. For storage, use a wide hanger to preserve the structure of the shoulders. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to preserve the intensity of the blue.
