Here's the Full Mugler x H&M Collection Lookbook
The honorary designs will officially launch on May 11.
The Mugler x H&M lookbook has officially arrived, offering a closer look at the collection’s tribute to Manfred Thierry Mugler’s legacy and impact on modern fashion. Shot by Lengua, the sartorial imagery spotlights the line’s versatility on an array of talent, spanning fashion muses to musicians, including Jerry Hall, Connie Fleming, Imaan Hammam, Aweng Chuol, Eartheater, Arca, Xu Meen and many more.
Inside the range, the menswear lineup includes a bevy of leather silhouettes, including trousers, blazers and a trench coat with engraved buttons. Denim, meanwhile, forms sculpted, accentuated jackets, while sharply-tailored designs layer over transparent flocked star print tops and corset-embedded tank tops.
On the women’s side, the collection includes a series of signature Mugler shapes defined by oversized shoulders and cinched waists. Spiral multi-seaming forms a common thread among baggy jeans, nylon and denim-bonded thong jeans and jackets, while leather outerwear contrasts decadent dresses and form-flattering catsuits, leggings and cut-out bodysuits.
There’s also a series of genderless accessories, including sheer gloves, tights, bags and scarves. Additionally, the line offers silver and gold body chains, earrings and necklaces in varying proportions.
“This collection is a watershed moment for the house of Mugler – a chance for us to celebrate our history and the pieces that we are beloved for today,” said Casey Cadwallader, creative director of Mugler. “The collaboration includes many of our signatures, from catsuits and bodycon dresses to tailoring, denim and beautiful, bold jewelry and accessories.”
Ann-Sofie Johansson, the creative advisor at H&M, added, “Casey and the Mugler team have been incredibly generous in offering up so many of the house’s classics and signatures, which shoppers will recognise from the runway and red carpet. The collection encapsulates the H&M ethos of sharing great fashion and democratizing design. Every piece is an icon.”
The capsule collection marks the latest in H&M’s line of high-low collaborations. The Swedish brand began its high-fashion team-ups in 2004, with a line by Karl Lagerfeld. Since then, H&M has released collections with Stella McCartney, Moschino, Maison Margiela, Balmain, Isabel Marant, Comme des Garçons, Lanvin, Versace, Simon Rocha and Giambattista Valli.
The Mugler x H&M collection will be available to shop on H&M’s webstore and in select stores beginning May 11. Take a look at the range in the gallery above.
