Labelled as the most anticipated show of mens fashion week, 'Anatomy of Change' was the debut menswear show of Nicola Formichetti (Lady Gaga's stylist) for Mugler. Billowing veils, sharp suits and many surprisingly wearable pieces in dark hues of black and navy, with touches of bright orange here and there, this show was definitely a good exhibition of Formichetti taking the Mugler brand forward.
The show also debuted a remixed track from Lady Gaga's new album 'Born This Way' called "Scheiße" (German for Shit/Dammit.) Being one of the most followed artists on facebook and twitter, she heavily promoted the show and therefore creating more hype.
Sharp tailoring with slim fit trousers accessorised with latex mask and gloves.
The baggy trousers trend gave contrast against the slim fit tailored trousers.
Bright orange tailoring brought a welcomed splash of colour to an otherwise muted colour pallette. The above images also show the contrasting silhouettes of the trouser styles: slim fit and baggy.
Bright orange is used again but very subtly on the thumb of the glove. The subtle introduction of this colour was rife throughout the collection tying the whole collection together.
Black billowing veil teamed with baggy trousers.
Teaming the plastic veil with white tailoring towards the very end of the show reminded me of the couture bridalwear at the end of couture runway shows.
Although I really do like this collection, the styling, rather than the actual design of the garments, is what made it for me. Take away the video in the background, music, setting, accessories and heavily tattooed models, there is no true Mugler genius. Although, saying that, Formichetti has produced a very wearable collection and presented it in a way that makes it look that little bit special.
