  • Story Text: Pret-a-porter week continues unfolding in Paris to the
    delight of the fashion-crazed and it was Thierry Mugler's
    chance to woo the crowds.

    Instead of delighting crowd Thierry Mugler, left them
    perplexed in Paris.The French designer's feline theme, with
    whiskers painted on the models' cheeks, fuzzy ears perched in
    their hairdos, and threatening claws glued to their toes,
    appeared to be a ploy to distract attention from the clothes.

    In all the soft wool trousers, floppy jackets and shawls,
    and reversible dresses, there was none of Mugler's meticulous
    tailoring and razor sharp architectural forms.

    Mugler tried to raise the temperature with models stripped
    down to bras and panties and turned their mohair pareo skirts
    or bouclette dresses inside out to put the silver lame lining
    on the outside.

    The shoulders of a hairy blue coat were unsnapped and
    rolled down so that the sleeves and bodice were transformed
    into the skirts of a tutu.

    But there was nothing luxurious or stylish about any
    of it, and instead of Mugler's sharp, clean colours, the
    palette was messy and unfocused, beige, pea green,
    chocolate, brownish rose, pale blue and lots of grey.
