MY LOVE FOR MR. MUGLER'S WORK IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY THIS POINT. THE GUY IS A GENIUS! WHO ELSE COULD DESIGN THIS GOLD LAME' COWGIRL MEETS WONDER WOMAN ENSEMBLE AS WELL AS HE? NO ONE NOW-A-DAYS IS FUN/CRAZY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OF WHAT THOSE DESIGNERS BACK THEN DID. IT DOESN'T HELP THAT FASHION HAS NO SENCE OF HUMOR ANYMORE. EVERYTHING IS SO DULL. ALL THE MODELS ARE SO LIFELESS. BLAH! MUGLER'S MODELS WERE ALWAYS HAVING FUN AND DANCING DOWN THE RUNWAY. OR THEY WERE MAD HIGH FASHION CREATURES: CRUELLA DeVIL MEETS MARYLYN MONROE.
THE STARS IN THIS PIECE WERE MEANT TO LOOK A TAD LIKE THE MUGLER 'ANGEL' PERFUME BOTTLE. I CHANGED THE DENIM SKIRT TO BLACK TO CONTRAST ALL THAT SWIRLING BLACK HAIR ON TOP. I PAINTED WATERCOLORS ON A VELUM OVERLAY FOR MOST OF IT AND COLLAGED A SCAN OF A GOLD LAME LaCROIX JACKET FOR THE BRA AND GLOVES.
WILL SOMEONE GIVE ME A JOB JUST DRAWING MUGLER OUTFITS ALL DAY, PLEASE!!!?
PEN AND INK ON BRISTOL BOARD AND VELUM W/ WATERCOLOR AND COLLAGED ELEMENTS.
