I found this Mugler a couple years before Cardi "brought Mugler back" into Public consciousness.
I found it, NWT....in a Goodwill.....in suburban Georgia. I was shocked and had to hold myself back from asking for the security tapes so I could see who donated it. If theyre donating UNWORN Mugler...Id LOVE to see what else they had stashed lol.
Anyways, Ive gone through all his runway shows that are available and I keep landing back on his Fall '95 show...its the show that Cardis "Birth of Venus" dress was shown and other looks have been pulled from that show by celebrities over the years.
The lighting in that show was great for the vibe, horrible for research, but Ive found a few looks that look very close. From what I can tell, none are exact, but I also cant find a ready to wear show for that season, the search results treat this show as his ready to wear show...so I dont know if changes to the designs were changed to translate to ready to wear during this time frame and couture was mixed in with ready to wear????
Ive tried to decipher the attached label to see if theres any reference to the specific season but I havent been able to figure it out. The actual label aligns with the time frame that it was changed from the previous label.
Fall 96 also has pieces that match this silhouette but missing the color, from what Ive found. It was focused more on neon sateens and black. I cant even find a complete lookbook for Spring/Summer 95...so it could be from that show.
Ive spent so much time trying to figure it out that now I feel like Im just running in circles and would appreciate some fresh eyes on it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
