1990s Thierry Mugler Orange Linen Blend Fitted Skirt Suit

This 1990s Thierry Mugler orange linen 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. It has a panelled construction which echoes the curves of the body; a top layer of tangerine orange linen follows the V-neckline and travels up the body, stopping at the shoulders. The jacket is short-sleeved and is secured at the front with two fabric-covered buttons. The sleeves are split and are also detailed with a fabric-covered button. The skirt is a high-waist pencil skirt cut to an above-knee length. It fastens at the back of the waist with a hidden tonal orange zip, large hook-and-eye and snap closure under an angular fabric tab - a Mugler signature. Both the jacket and skirt are lined in orange satin for a comfortable, luxurious wear.

Made in France, both pieces are in superb vintage condition with no flaws of any note and the fabric has retained its vibrancy. The label reads 78% Viscose, 22% Linen. The suit is labelled a French 40 but please check our measurements closely as there is no stretch. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 34" (87cm), Waist 24" (61cm), Hips: 34.5" (88cm) and 5' 7" (170cm) and she's a size UK 6, US 2. We estimate the suit is a good fit for up to size UK 8-10 or US 4-6 with a smaller waist.
