Muggle enters his second installment The wardrobe of identitiesa project shaped by the Creative Director Miguel Castro Freitas and his focus on clothing as a force for transformation. For Pre-Fall 2026, the house builds a visual narrative around a woman who changes through dress, gesture and presence. Raphael Pavarotti photographs history, Robbie Spencer style of collection, and Saskia de Brauw conveys the sequence with a controlled intensity that suits Mugler’s sharp codes.
The campaign takes place in ordinary environments, where familiar spaces acquire an increased emotional charge. The story follows a woman in one day who feels suspended between reality and emotion. Throughout the series, Mugler uses silhouette to show how clothes shape attitude, mood and self-perception.
Miguel Castro Freitas frames the work through the daily changes that people experience. His approach sees dress as something that affects how people see us and how we occupy ourselves. It looks at the small changes that occur throughout the day, when a gesture, a cut or a line changes the way someone stands, moves or feels. The Wardrobe of Identities follows this idea through familiar rooms and familiar situations, where everyday moments carry a sense of alteration.
The Pre-Fall Wardrobe Collection 2026 focuses on bold silhouettes and accessories that extend the direction Castro Freitas has developed at Mugler. Sculptural tailoring, defined shoulders, fluid dressing and precise construction shape the language of the collection. The clothes create a woman who goes about her day with control, awareness and calm intensity.

Accessories play a key role in this second chapter, with the Aurora and Lua bags appearing in the visual story. Their forms continue the attitude of the house through shape, proportion and presence. The Wardrobe of Identities explores multiplicity and self-expression without turning identity into a fixed idea. The Mugler Pre-Fall 2026 Wardrobe Collection launches in June 2026 online and in selected boutiques worldwide.
