From Thierry Mugler’s iconic Fall/Winter 1988 runway collection, this vintage black wool blazer is a masterclass in the designer’s signature sculptural tailoring and glamorous precision. Crafted in France from 100% wool with a full acetate lining, the jacket features a sharply cinched waist, exaggerated pagoda shoulders, and a deep V-neckline framed by a dramatic notched lapel.
The body is adorned with bold architectural seamwork, while glistening jet-black crystals are meticulously applied in curved arcs across the bust, hips, and cuffs, adding a futuristic sparkle to Mugler’s razor-sharp silhouette. Hidden hook-and-eye closures accentuate the clean lines and structured finish.
A true archival piece, this collectible blazer was modeled on the runway by Alek Wek, making it a rare and documented example of Mugler’s high drama during his peak era.
