Mugler S/S 2022 Paris | the Fashion Spot

Mugler S/S 2022 Paris

I guess p*rn actresses need clothes too...seeing Shalom Harlow and Amber Valletta among the rest of those "models" feels like finding a pair of diamonds in a dumpster.

It's a fun casting with Amber, Shalom, Lola and is that Dominique? Anyway, Mugler did sexy but all these clothes just scream prostitute.

I just realized what I said, the clothes scream prostitute but in that sense they are all exceptionally well tailored and styled, so forgive me for getting my first impression too judgmental. Also, did I just spot Bella and Chloe? Clothes apart, this is a really stellar casting.
 
Is that video with Bella all over social media from this collection? cause if yes, I don’t mind the hooker look! I wish I looked like that! :lol:
 
6:22 lol.. the career of a fashion designer nowadays in a nutshell: gotta attempt to do the models' job for at least 2 seconds!

Music is HORRIBLE. Part of the crisis in fashion is that these people are tasteless even in that, remember way way back when you'd hear something in fashion commercials and gasped and needed to find it? it's all spotify junk that finds you before you find it now..
 
Elevated clubwear. I like it to be honest. It feels very urban and street and it's a fun collection.

Great casting and use of social media. and even if you don't like the clothes, i think we can agree that this is one of the better lookbooks as far as evoking an image and still being able to see the details of the clothing.
 
i love the film and casting but dont like the music and those darn stripped leggings again

remember those VS mixes before it became too commercialized. The DJ mixing 'Bang bang' by Nancy Sinatra with some house music or 'Drop it like its hot' with some Russian marching band beats. And the very active tfs threads dedicated solely to runway music.
 
It’s the same thing all over again from Casey, highlighting the limited range of his design vernacular at Mugler which is unfortunate because the house has such an expansive and fun archive.

I would actually appreciate this a whole lot more if there was way more variety in the collection. The addition of beautifully cut skirt/pant suits and killer dresses would balance out the crassness of what these designs evoke to a better level as it would level it out but unfortunately Casey won’t (nor can’t) do that. Mugler is about that high/low, the vulgar and the modestly, almost borderline bourgeois, chic codes and this collection is just saturated with the same ideas it leaves me wanting way more design variety.

Also hard to appreciate the look book as well. It’s visually great, but the posing, angles and post production makes the clothes look somewhat edited to look “perfect”. It has been noted before that these designs don’t always fit right because of the confusing and complicated cuts to pieces that don’t really need it. This has been particularly evident when doing live runway shows. But hey, social media is absolutely fawning for this so what do I know…

the casting is great, but that can only do so much.

D&G watch commercials music had me by the neck
 
To be honest, I enjoy watching Mugler's digital presentatons. The production is oustanding and dynamic, the casting was good for the most part, and they don't forget to thier job: show the clothes (learn from this Dries). That said, the clothes reveal how limited Cawaller is as a designer. His design language is limited to: stretchy cage corsets, ***-exposing bodysuit and tights, weird tortured blazers and the occasional bias-cut dress. Nensi Dojaka has a similar aesthetic, but she has grown a more-extensive design vocabulary in 2 seasons than Cadwaller has in his 4+ years at Mugler. It's pahetic.

That third picture...what is this?

It's either a cut out showing a hip bone or colostomy bag.
 
After 4 years at the house, I still can't remember what exactly Casey contribute to Mugler besides cutouts and body con.

He needs to visit the archives more often to understand that, besides designing sexy clothes, Mugler himself is also a skillful couturier. His legacy is so much more than just skin-revealing clothes.

The cast and production can't hide the weakness of the clothes.
