Mugler Menswear Collection // Brothers of Arcadia // Spring Summer 2012
So after the video teaser which Formichetti is calling a moving mood board. Here’s the actual collection. I must say I really liked it. Sure there were some totally crazy clothes. I won’t be rocking neon green Lycra next summer, well probably not, but in the crazy was a whole lot of cool.
The two suits above are fantastic. The smokey grey is unbelievable and I’m in lust with it. The cut out in the white, which also came down the catwalk as a black/lilac option is brilliant, though reminds me a little of Braille (available in Wolf and Badger)
The jewellery, more like armour was incredible, delightfully impractical, and to be fair the only way you’d catch me in cropped top would be to flash an armour plated stomach!
The body con tops and leggings, (yes leggings!) were also brilliant. I’m not saying get them and stroll down the High St. But as catwalk pieces, inspired. I’ll be hoping the Lycra tops are translated into knitwear as I think they would be phenomenal, and actually something I’d wear.
The shorts were again mid thigh, but thats no shocker. I was however liking the slightly looser fit of them. Still tailored and sharp, but allowing a little more leeway. As for the shoes…I want now, even the crazy neon green flashes. In fact those are the exact ones I want. The plain black ones despite their jagged loveliness just wont cut it.
Formichetti has done Mugler proud with this collection, insanity and accessibility rarely make as good bedfellows as they do here.
