Thierry Mugler
SS 1989 Atlantis Black Sculptural Dress

Size FR 38 Fits FR 36 / S

An iconic archival piece from Thierry Mugler’s legendary Spring/Summer 1989 “Atlantis” collection, celebrated for its futuristic, architectural vision and ultra-feminine power tailoring.

This black sculptural dress perfectly embodies Mugler’s signature language: a razor-sharp silhouette, dramatic structure, and impeccable couture-level construction.
Crafted in a luxurious acetate-viscose blend, the fabric holds shape beautifully while remaining fluid on the body, allowing the dress to contour the figure with precision.
The cut is nothing short of spectacular — a sharply sculpted waist, elongated torso line, and elegantly tapered skirt that creates a commanding yet sensual presence.
The neckline features Mugler’s distinctive asymmetrical notch, framing the décolletage in a subtle yet striking architectural gesture. Structured shoulder pads enhance the powerful shoulder line, balancing the hourglass silhouette and reinforcing the couture tailoring heritage.

The back is finished with a full line of discreet press buttons, emphasizing the clean vertical line and allowing for a flawless fit. Panelled seams and sculpted darts create a corset-like effect without compromising comfort.
