Mugler: for its 50th anniversary, the brand is releasing an event documentary on Canal+.
Mugler celebrates half a century of creation with an exclusive documentary. To be seen on Canal+ from September 25, 2024.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the House of Mugler is launching a documentary entitled Inside The Dream. This unique film delves into the world of visionary designer Thierry Mugler, and also presents the work of Casey Cadwallader, current Artistic Director. Directed by Matthieu Menu, Inside The Dream offers a captivating retrospective of the brand through its key moments, and highlights its ever-present influence on contemporary fashion.
The documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show. It reveals Cadwallader’s creative process, which maintained the brand’s bold, futuristic spirit. The show is marked by an innovative approach that lives up to Thierry Mugler’s heritage. The film also shows the launch of the new fragrance Angel Fantasm, a direct tribute to the iconic Angel, a bestseller since 1992.
A tribute to Thierry Mugler
This documentary is also a tribute to Manfred Thierry Mugler, who passed away in 2022. Over the course of an hour, viewers rediscover the incredible career of this designer. A pioneer of futuristic fashion, Thierry Mugler transformed the industry with his structured silhouettes, robotic inspirations and taste for theatricality. His influence extends far beyond the catwalk, touching perfumery and pop culture too.
The film highlights key moments in the brand’s history. For example, Zendaya’s striking appearance in a robotic Mugler dress at the premiere of Dune 2, or references to historic collections such as the Autumn/Winter 1995 line. These moments recall Mugler’s ability to fuse fashion and art with an audacity that remains timeless.
A look at Mugler’s future
Under the direction of Casey Cadwallader, Mugler continues to push the boundaries of fashion.
