Casey Cadwallader’s Mugler Fall/Winter 2021 collection instantly entraps, with dynamic and provocative designs replete with leather, cut-outs, and a bit of neon. Revealed via an electric cinematic display directed by Torso Solutions, each piece of the collection comes to life in very nuanced forms, brought forth in ways only a fashion film can do. Picture strobe lights, shadow play, zooming in and out, and a very Mugler gaze—sensual, feminine, and a bit dark. Complete with models both famed and new—from Bella Hadid and Amber Valleta to Kayako Higuchi and Kai-Isaiah Jamal—the show is a mesmerizing and adventurous celebration of powerful fashion.

 

 

 

The collection features an intoxicating display of leather, corsets, structured shoulders, and even a pop of denim. Boned corsets and high waisted zip leggings, in recycled Lycra, reveal cut-outs of illusion tulle creating items that are at once strong and delicate. Throughout the collection, Lycra in intriguing shades of black, blue, pink, and silver add dimension that is fit for an exciting winter night out. Denim, in unique spiral patterns, allow for movement that is a key pillar of Mugler designs.  

 

 

Mini dresses and skirts are paired with bandage glove tops and wraps of fabric in stunning shades of teal, neon yellow, vibrant orange, deep maroon, and indigo blue. Ever keeping the Mugler edge, accent buckles and sharp jackets and trench coats add a sense of refined grunge. Structural coats with wool tailoring and cut-out peak lapel blazers bring practicality to an illustrious collection. Keyhole bustier detailing, gold snake chain body jewelry, and a star-patterned dress, while reminiscent of classic pieces from the Mugler archives, are presented in a contemporary light. 

 

 

In perfect pairing to the sharp lines and two-tone features on the tight leggings and sleek jackets, is the Mugler Fall/Winter 2021-22 shoe collection with Jimmy Choo. Cut-out calf boots and pointed pumps with gold chain accents, along with open sandals and metallic ball detailing, complete the already compelling looks.   

Catapulting the viewer to a place that is at once futuristic, contemporary, and evocative of another time, the Fall/Winter 2021-22 collection is a masterful display of film and fashion. In a celebration of femininity in all her forms, Mugler presents pieces aptly suited for the modern dresser.
