1990s Thierry Mugler Brown Prince of Wales Check Silk Skirt Suit

This mid 1990s Thierry Mugler silk skirt suit is tailored to the defined contours that exemplified the designer's work throughout this era. The peplum-shaped suit jacket with shoulder pads draws in the waist and adds volume around the hips, emphasising and highlighting the feminine figure. The jacket has an asymmetric hem with a raised front and lower back. The front hem has two turned-up areas which sit like shallow pockets. The collar echoes this shape and curves from a raised collar behind the neck down into the lapels at the front. The fabric is an unusual pale brown and champagne Prince of Wales checked silk. The front is closed with two fabric-covered buttons which hide two snap closures and another hidden snap closure. The skirt is cut to a pencil silhouette with soft pleats. It fastens at the back with a hidden tonal zip and the signature angular tab that hides two snap closures. The jacket and skirt are lined in champagne silk. The famous pale blue label reads “Thierry Mugler Paris” and dates this piece to the late-1980s.

Made in France, both pieces is in superb vintage condition with no flaws of any note and the silk has a wonderful sheen and vibrancy. The label reads 100% Silk and the lining is 100% Silk. It has no size label so please check our measurements closely as there is no stretch. We estimate the suit is a best fit for sizes UK 6-8 or US 2-4 on account of the small waist measurement of the skirt. The jacket will accommodate sizes up to a UK 10 or US 6.
