PARIS, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mugler announces the release of a documentary directed by Matthieu Menu and produced by Terminal 9 that takes the audience behind-the-scenes of key moments in the lead up to the French house’s 50th anniversary including the making of the Spring/Summer 2024 runway show by Casey Cadwallader.
Since its first apparition on Earth in 1974, Mugler has become synonymous with fashion and fragrance that is fierce, fascinating, and fantastical. Rooted deeply in the entertainment industry and beloved by boundary-pushing performers such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Dua Lipa for decades, Mugler is more than a house – it’s a movement, a true cultural force shaping pop culture with its unwavering commitment to empowerment and inclusivity. Mugler has long embodied the spirit of bold self-expression, continually redefining the art of trailblazing in the world of high fashion and avant-garde fragrance.
This autumn, the French fashion house prepares to enthrall with Inside the Dream: Mugler, an exclusive documentary directed by Matthieu Menu and produced by Terminal 9. 60-minutes that dive deep into the conception and realization of key Mugler events in the lead up to the house’s 50th anniversary.
