Creative director Casey Cadwallader presents sexy denim and ombre body-con dresses for the brand’s latest showcase
Feel free to hit the play button on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Body” as you’re reading this because what we’re going to talk about is Mugler’s latest style presentation. The fashion house’s creative director Casey Cadwallader worked with Torso Solutions in mounting the final installment of the brand's spring-summer 2022 showcase—an ultra-sexy, dynamic fashion film.
No boring scene of models just walking down the runway can be seen in Mugler’s featurette. Joining Megan in it is an all-star cast that includes “Pose” star Dominique Jackson, supermodel Gigi Hadid, and actress Chloë Sevigny, among others.
“This is the most bare collection I’ve done,” Casey told Vogue. And we couldn’t agree more. This line is a celebration of a woman’s body while paying homage to the late Thierry Mugler. The collection’s skin-revealing garbs and sexy denim are reminiscent of Mugler’s pieces in 1998. Ombre body-con dresses, neon-striped body suits, and oversized hoop earrings can also be seen in the fashion film.
“I’ve always been excited to bring in references and to do them my way,” the creative director told Interview magazine. “I’ve done it since the very first season. I don’t copy them, but I grift elements from them like construction details, or different aspects of the fit. But I didn’t want to mock him, and I didn’t want it to feel like it didn’t come from me. I have to give myself that freedom, because that’s the freedom in which he created those things.”
