NO ONE WORKS ROBO-CHIC LIKE Mr. THIERRY MUGLER. GIVE THIS 80's & 90's DESIGN ICON SOME OLD TIN, A YARD OF SILVER LAME' FABRIC AND A COPY OF THE MOVIE 'METROPOLIS' AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF ONE HELL OF A FUTURISTIC FASHION SHOW!
WHEN I SAW THE SILVER LAME' GOWN FROM MUGLER'S SPRING 1987 COLLECTION, I JUST KNEW I HAD TO PAIR THIS LOVELY LADY WITH THE CAMP ROBOT ICON OF THE 1960'S: ROBBY THE ROBOT FROM THE FILM 'FORBIDDEN PLANET'. ROBBY IS A GIANT MENACING ROBOT WHO WAS BUILT TO . . . COOK AND CLEAN FOR A MAD SCIENTIST??? A GROSS MISUSE OF POWER. WHEN HE FINALLY REBELS AGAINST HIS DOMESTIC DICTATOR, I SEE IT AS A LEAP FORWARD FOR REPRESSED DOMESTIC GODDESSES EVERYWHERE. I WONDER IF THE JETSON'S ROBOT MAID WILL BE THE NEXT TO RISE UP?
