Decades after she first walked for Mugler, Sharon Stone returns to the house to front a capsule of archival designs.
Sharon Stone is back in the Mugler spotlight, this time as the face of an archival revival. The actress, who famously strutted down a Mugler runway in 1992, now fronts a capsule collection of 24 looks plucked from the house’s archives. Each piece, from sharp-shouldered tailoring to lingerie-inspired eveningwear, has been tweaked for today, yet pulses with the same high-octane spirit that defined Mugler in the late ’80s and ’90s.
Arriving this September on Mugler’s website and at select boutiques, the limited-edition Re/Edit capsule couldn’t be more timely. Fashion’s fixation on ’80s, ’90s, and Y2K style has made the Mugler archive ripe for rediscovery. And who better to reintroduce those vintage thrills to a new generation than Stone? The star of Basic Instinct and Casino is no stranger to provocative style or power dressing. Shot like a high-gloss ’90s thriller, full of voyeuristic angles and simmering tension, the campaign captures Stone’s commanding presence in every frame, the kind that made her an icon of the era.
Stone has a history with Mugler. In 1992, she opened and closed one of the designer’s Los Angeles runway shows in full dominatrix mode, proving even then that she understood the brand’s sensual power. “Acting is from your soul,” she noted at the time. “Modeling is from your ego.” It’s a contrast Stone clearly relishes as she slips back into model mode for Mugler.
For the house, this throwback capsule bridges past and future. It arrives just as new creative director Miguel Castro Freitas, a Portuguese alum of Dior and Dries Van Noten, prepares his debut Mugler collection for Paris next spring. More than a nostalgia trip, it also pays tribute to the late Thierry Mugler’s singular vision, sharp shoulders, cinched waists, sci-fi glamour and all, proving his fearless aesthetic is as captivating now as ever.
