Description: A striking example of Thierry Mugler’s sculptural tailoring from the 1980s, this black wool gabardine dress combines sharp architectural lines with a powerful, body-conscious silhouette. The design features a fitted, corset-like waist, exaggerated dolman sleeves, a pointed collar, and a full-length front zipper that emphasizes the garment’s sleek, streamlined construction. Angled zip pockets at the chest and back lend a subtle utilitarian edge, while expertly placed seaming creates Mugler’s signature hourglass shape. Bold yet refined, the dress exemplifies the designer’s futuristic vision and mastery of dramatic tailoring.

Condition: Gently worn with no obvious damage.
