ROLLING STONE: Awaiting its first designs by a new creative director, Mugler has reinterpreted 24 looks from its archive for a capsule collection — and tapped Sharon Stone to front the project.
The Re/Edit capsule touches on tailoring, lingerie-inspired designs and red carpet dresses inspired by ready-to-wear and couture collections between 1985 and 2000, tapping into fashion eras enjoying currency among young generations.
The capsule will be available from September on Mugler’s online boutique and select specialty stores worldwide.

Stone, the star of films including “Basic Instinct” and “Casino,” surely understood the brief for the campaign images, meant to suggest a voyeuristic eye and a study of quiet tension, according to the house.
The actress is no stranger to power dressing and seductive body language.
Indeed, Stone walked in Thierry Mugler in 1992 when the California Fashion Industry Friends of AIDS Project honored the French designer in Los Angeles, opening and closing a runway show in deliciously dominatrix style.
“Acting is from your soul,” Stone, having been a model, told WWD at the time. “Modeling is from your ego.”
