Celebrating 50 years of Mugler. The Chimère dress is the House’s most celebrated masterpiece. Its intricate design, involving 6 different crafts including corsetry, feather-makers, molding, and embroidery, required over than a thousand hours of work by the ateliers. Its iridescent scales are hand-painted individually, and adorn a sheath, articulated corset. It is said that such garment would likely be impossible to reproduce nowadays. “Chimère” from the Haute Couture Fall-Winter 1997/1998.
