Thierry Mugler’s AW95 Couture show was so
NADJA AUERMANN SHOWED UP AS A FEMBOT
Some of Mugler's best-known
collections centre around a unique vision of what he imagined the future of fashion to look like, as he spliced supermodels with motorcycles and automobiles, and turned women into hyper-exaggerated versions of themselves via his painstakingly crafted corsets and hip-padding. AW95 took it to another level, though, when German supermodel Nadja Auermann emerged onto the runway as a fully-formed bionic fembot-encased in a silver, articulated bodysuit made from metal, as designed in collaboration with aircraft specialist Jean-Pierre Delcros. The garment was later immortalised in print by Helmut Newton (ditto the robot look in the collection), and has gone on to influence countless designers in the time since its debut: with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Gareth Pugh (to name but a few) among them.
