A pairing no one asked for — but I made it anyway (forgive me, Butcher, Mugler and karl urban).
Lately I’ve been studying fashion houses, their visual languages, their internal codes — and at some point I felt the urge to combine something as incompatible as possible.
You see where this is going.
So here we are. More to come — there are five more.
Mugler is often associated with feminine power — corsets, wasp waists, predatory silhouettes, latex, exaggerated structure.
But the men’s collections have always operated in the same field: sculpted tailoring, emphasized torso, leather, dominance, control.
It’s not about gender.
It’s about energy.
In men’s Mugler there’s the same aggression of form, the same spatial authority, the same sexuality through strength (yes, I’m aware Butcher probably doesn’t think of himself as “sexy” — but with Karl Urban it just happens 😈).
So this series is about that energy.
Mugler pushes power to an aesthetic extreme.
Butcher pushes it to destruction.
