Thierry Mugler 90s Purple Lace-Up Skirt

Thierry Mugler cut clothes like an architect, and corset lacing was one of the devices he used throughout the 1990s to shape and cinch his silhouettes. This purple skirt from that decade carries the motif as its defining detail. Lacing appeared across Mugler's suits, bodices and dresses of the period, from runway showpieces to the tailoring sold through his boutiques.
