Fashion house Mugler presented its spring/summer ’22 collection, starring supermodels Bella Hadid, Lourdes Leon, Chloe Sevigny + more. Check out the collection here.
Mugler’s Spring/Summer 2022 season marks Casey Cadwallader’s first collection since house founder Manfred Thierry Mugler tragically passed away in January of this year just before beginning production.
“All of a sudden, I was coming home at midnight, and my phone started ringing like crazy,” said the new creative director. “There are these facets to Mugler and ongoing energy, which for me, is something that has shifted now he’s passed. I always used to think of him when I was working and think what’s he going to think? And is this going to make him happy?”
Launched on June 8th, the new Mugler Spring/Summer 2022collection focuses on ‘the speed of life’ and took the audience on a cinematic adventure. It seems that the new creative director is trying to keep the essence of the brand and, at the same time, keep it modern. “I feel much more the responsibility that I have to carry this forward and to make sure that his contribution to fashion into culture takes on more and more life as we move forward,” said Cadwallader about the modern version that Thierry Mugler discussed with Casey after his passing.
Moreover, Cadwallader shines in cultivating Mugler’s theatrical approach to fashion and the runway using music, models, and movement to tell a collection’s story. “I’ve learned too much from doing this, there’s just so much more room for expression in this format,” said Cadwallader. “Mugler has always been so much about music, culture and performance – then fashion is about image-making. It just makes sense that these all can flow together.”
Casey Cadwaller’s latest Spring Summer 2022 collection celebrates identity and self-expression “in a world of counterfeits and clones”. It is also the thirst instalment of the house’s “trilogy” series directed by Torso Solutions and styled by Haley Wollens.
The collection features icons Chloë Sevigny, Bella Hadid, Earthheater, Amber Valletta and Megan Starring Thee Stallion to name a few. For this Mugler Spring Summer 22 Collection, Cadwallader relies on the performing skills of his muses to showcase the versatility of the Maison.
The collection features shapewear silhouettes, denim, eveningwear, and tailoring pieces in sand-like, earthy tones that meet monochromes and denim, embracing the models’ curves through optic effects. In addition, the brand also plays with the concept of asymmetry, new dégradé ‘Hoochie’ dresses, challenging the viewer with unexpected designs and colours.
Cutout bodies and corsets are embellished with lycra panels, structured busts, and gloved sleeves. Tailoring is also reinvented with a focus on a hyperfeminine vision of womanhood. Wool jackets are cut wide open to unveil the models’ décolleté as they march intrepidly on the severely pointed pumps and stiletto sandals from the latest Mugler shoe collection.
