Leave it to creative director Nicola Formichetti, who is famous for his work with Lady Gaga, to create the Mugler Fall 2012 collection, one of the most interesting shows of Paris Fashion Week thus far.
For a collection that is predominantly white, it certainly had a lot of kick to it. With boxy fur sleeves adorning many of the outfits, as well as space-like headgear and frosty makeup, the models looked more like tall, lean aliens walking down the runway.
The Mugler Fall 2012 collection also features many all black outfits, with sheer paneling and sleek silhouettes taking center stage. No matter how you look at it, one thing is for sure: the Mugler Fall 2012 offering is not for the faint of heart.
