Runway Spring 1997 Thierry Mugler Fitted Black Dress w Extravagant Ruffled Silk Bodice designer-gina-frattini Item# S766The twin of this dress walked the 1997 runway. It looked amazing on the runway that season and I am so pleased to have this one in the shop. Finding runway references for Mugler's work is not always easy as he would often change designs for production and produced many pieces that were not shown on the runway. It's an extraordinary find and a gorgeous dress. I love the sharp fitted lines of the dress and how the lingerie feeling ruffles on the bodice
