Sculptural/Illusionary Fashion Inspiration: Mugler

In my personal practice, I realized that I love to experiment with reshaping the body in ways that almost look like an illusion. Historically, I’ve achieved this type of look using my corsetry skills, but I am trying to push myself to experiment with different methods and ways of achieving this aesthetic/feel.

I have found Mugler to be very inspirational. A lot of the brand’s collections explore this illusionary effect. Here are some of the ways I’ve isolated as examples of how this look is achieved:

  1. Print Placement/Seamlines:
  2. Corsetry
  3. Structural Construction
  4. Using the Skin for Contrast/Shape
