Vintage 1980s Thierry Mugler Plaid Wool Suit - Ladies Size 38 - M

This is a striking 80s era suit by Parisian designer Thierry Mugler.  This type of fitted suit became synonymous with the Mugler brand during the 1980s, and this is a very nice example.  The suit consists of a jacket and skirt, both made of plaid wool.  The jacket is trimmed in black cotton velvet at the opening, faux pocket flaps and cuffs, each accented with a large silver toned metal buckle.  The jacket has padded shoulders, and closes with four velvet button covered snaps.  The jacket is quite structured and has a longer length - the lapels can be worn flat or raised to the front (see photos).  It is lined in black acetate.  The skirt is made in a simple, above the knee length.
