{"product_id":"thierry-mugler-1981-vampire-dress-red-velvet","title":"Thierry Mugler 1981 “Vampire” Dress — Red Velvet","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn extraordinary piece of Thierry Mugler history. Dating to 1981, this is the legendary “Vampire”\u003cbr\u003edress, one of the most recognizable and collectible silhouettes from Mugler’s early archive.\u003cbr\u003eCut in deep red velvet, the dress is constructed almost like sculpture around the body. The sharply\u003cbr\u003epointed neckline rises from the bust into dramatic architectural peaks, while the exaggerated off\u003cbr\u003eshoulder puff sleeves create the unmistakable Mugler silhouette. The fitted bodice draws the waist\u003cbr\u003einward, contrasted by the sculptural peplum and narrow pencil skirt.\u003cbr\u003eA matching velvet belt with an oversized buckle completes the silhouette, emphasizing the extreme\u003cbr\u003ehourglass proportions that became synonymous with Thierry Mugler’s work.\u003cbr\u003eThe construction is exceptional from every angle, with a structured internal bodice, hook and eye\u003cbr\u003efastening, shaped paneling and carefully engineered volume through the shoulders and hips. It is a\u003cbr\u003epiece that sits somewhere between fashion, costume and sculpture.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1981 Vampire dress has become one of Mugler’s most recognizable archival designs, with\u003cbr\u003eversions of the silhouette later worn by major celebrities and repeatedly referenced in fashion\u003cbr\u003eimagery and exhibitions.\u003cbr\u003eThis particular example is especially desirable in deep red velvet, a striking and much less\u003cbr\u003ecommonly seen variation of the design. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thierry Mugler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54903311237461,"sku":null,"price":9500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1042\/9949\/5765\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-09-07at08.54.56.jpg?v=1788966796","url":"https:\/\/checkout.noahandleil.com\/products\/thierry-mugler-1981-vampire-dress-red-velvet","provider":"Noah \u0026 Leil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
