Mugler Men’s Spring 2012: Brothers of Arcadia–Myth and Reality

PARIS–One of the greatest things about fashion in the digital age is a designer’s ability to use images and ideas to encapsulate the reality of his or her clothes.
At last night’s second showing of the Mugler men’s spring collection in the vast hall of the Galérie de Mineralogie, creative director Nicola Formichetti gave a straightforward explanation in his press notes, which were placed inside a 4×6 black and white catalog entitled Brothers of Arcadia.
“I was interested in the idea of fantasy, dreams, and voyeurism. I also like the idea of modern and ancient myths. So I suppose this project is a combination of the two things: there are surfers, footballers, porn stars and classical gods all rolled into one here.”
