More Information

S/S 1985 Thierry Mugler metallic gold lamé knee length dress. Collectors strapless bustier dress composed of knife pleated metallic gold paneling. Rare 'shell' silhouette at bust with sweetheart neckline. Composed of lightweight lurex on the exterior, the boned corset interior creates a nipped waist silhouette, and the exterior pleating defines the hip and narrows at the hemline. Back paneling curves upwards and forms 'v' with pleated definition, as weighted base holds dress in place when worn. Concealed back zip closure and four bronze-tone snap closures concealing interior hook-and-eye closures at corset. Extremely rare dress with corset version as seen in the 1985 ad campaign; similar pieces seen in the Mugler retrospective in Paris, and in the Met Museum. In very good vintage condition with faint spot at interior lining and slight wear throughout pleats, particularly at back pleating.
