‘I wanted to have something of that idea of the salon, where people would be invited to drop by and discuss the collection with you,’ explains Formichetti. ‘I did not want it to be an elitist or secretive process. I wanted everyone to have the opportunity to be involved. Fashion seemed a bit ‘warmer’ in the past, more personal and not so removed. I wanted to see whether we could have some of that warmth again. For people to see the fun we have putting it together.’
Of this season’s collection he explains: ‘We were looking at formal, military dress uniforms before starting the collection, how they are made for performance in an almost theatrical way. It is that exaggerated, heroic silhouette, hyper-masculine and formal that we were interested in and how it transforms men. It is also something that is the traditional territory of Thierry Mugler himself.’
