Paris Fashion Week: Mugler Spring/Summer 2013

Futuristic oriental themes flowed throughout Mugler’s spring/summer 2013 collection yesterday during Paris fashion week. Now in it’s forth season under the helm of creative director, Nicola Formichetti. Mugler has definitely become more defined and polished with an air of maturity this season.

Feminine hourglass nipped-in waists were dominant silhouettes, teamed with either flared short skirts or short/skirt tennis hybrids with super feminine fitted bodices with accentuated futuristic wide shoulders.  While an aquatic blue loose fitting robed sport varsity dress and an unconventional oversized white tee added a laid back touch.

The colour palette could have been easily plucked from an autumn/winter collection, with its dark and moody earthy hues of claret, golden bronze, black and chlorophyll green on gleaming gloss leather. Although brighter colours were not altogether dismissed, through the use of acidic banana and aquatic blue on the more sporty looks from the show.
