ARCHIVE - 1990s Cotton Pop Art Print Thierry Mugler Dress

£0.00 Sold out
This is the epitome of 1990s high fashion from leading French fashion designer Thierry Mugler. This is a blue label couture piece and would have featured on the runway; it is essentially very high-end ready to wear. The era was particularly strong for bodycon pieces and cut-out designs and this desirable piece is no exception. The dress has a shirt style collar, generous kimono style sleeves and an empire waist-band which ties under the bust. The stomach is cut away with the skirt crossing at the waist in a wrap around style and fastening with D-rings towards the front of the dress. The colours on this piece are designed to clash in an abstract Pop Art print - orange, yellow, blue and green. The waistband is differing in width and has most structure at the back to give a blouson effect at the rear.

This piece is in good vintage condition with gentle signs of wear. On close inspection we noted a small amount of colour bleed. Some of the black has seeped into neighbouring colours though this is not noticeable when worn. The fabric composition label has been cut out but it feels like a rayon cotton blend. The size is a vintage French 42 which equates in old sizing to a UK 12 to 14 or US 8-10. In modern sizing this would better suit a size down so UK 10 - 12 or US 6-8.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.

Do you have a price range?

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
