Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler: 1980-1990 Two Decades of Artistic Affinities

Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler: 1980–1990 — Two Decades of Power Dressing by Azzedine Alaïa and Thierry Mugler is the definitive document of two of the most powerful and influential fashion designers of the 1980s and 1990s — the decade when fashion was about power, sexuality, and the confident, sculptural treatment of the female body. Alaïa’s bandage dresses and Mugler’s architectural silhouettes remain among the most extraordinary technical achievements in the history of fashion, and this Skira publication presents their work side by side in a comparative document that reveals both the differences and the shared sensibility of two designers who defined an era. Published with exceptional photography, this is essential for fashion students, historians, and anyone who lived through — or wants to understand — the decade when fashion was most confident about the pleasure of dressing.
