THIERRY MUGLER S/S 1996 Runway Silk Suit FR40
€2,200.00

Thierry Mugler Spring Summer 1996 Runway Silk Suit in Yellow

Brand: Thierry Mugler
Designer: Thierry Mugler
Collection: Spring Summer 1996
Fabric: 100% Silk
Colour: Yellow
Size: FR40
Made in France

Thierry Mugler suit from his Spring Summer 1996 collection, shown on the runway in beige check. Made from 100% silk, this pale yellow version features a light textured surface that catches the light when worn, giving the piece a luminous presence.

The jacket is sharply tailored through the waist with curved shaping at the hips, creating the sculpted silhouette Mugler became known for during the 1990s. Made specifically to have a more fluid fit - long turned-back cuffs and a fluid shawl collar offset the precision of the construction, balancing structure with softness.

This suit combines strong architectural tailoring with a lighter, more elegant surface and silhouette. A rare runway variation from one of Mugler’s most recognisable periods, capturing the glamour that defined his 1990’s work.

JOHN GALLIANO F/W 1997 "Suzy Sphinx" Ruched Suit FR42
€3,500.00

John Galliano Fall Winter 1997 “Suzy Sphinx” Ruched Detail Suit

Brand: John Galliano
Designer: John Galliano
Collection / Year: Fall / Winter 1997
Material: Jacket: 100% wool, lined in 100% silk
Color: Black
Size: FR42
Made in France

A highly coveted suit from John Galliano’s Fall Winter 1997 “Suzy Sphinx” collection. The collection was inspired by Cleopatra star Theda Bara, and the dark romanticism of Siouxsie and the Banshees. This sharply tailored skirt suit reflects Galliano’s fascination with 1940s silhouettes, reworked through his signature lens.

Featuring strong shoulders and dramatic ruching gathered towards the front, creating an hourglass shape reminiscent of vintage couture techniques. The circular smocked construction and elongated proportions create a striking contrast between softness and structure. The 1940s inspired skirt falls just below the knee.

This design has become some of Galliano’s most recognisable tailoring pieces, the runway version has been worn by both Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. A Dior interpretation was also worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, further cementing the silhouette’s cult status within fashion history.
