France's Mugler appoints Miguel Castro Freitas as creative director

Freitas will succeed Casey Cadwallader, who is exiting the fashion house after seven years.

“It is an honour to join the spectacular House of Mugler. As one of the 20th century’s great couturiers, Mugler reimagined the power and limits of fashion. Alongside the teams, I am thrilled to bring my own vision, story and emotion to this important heritage,” said Freitas.

The brand made the announcement on its social media channels.

Mugler was founded in 1973 by designer Thierry Mugler. Known for its bold, avant-garde designs and strong, architectural silhouettes, the brand became iconic in the 1980s and 1990s. Mugler’s work often blends futuristic and theatrical elements, pushing the boundaries of haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion.
