To celebrate Pride Month, I’ll be adding two more designs to my free designer pattern series. First up is a free Mugler pattern by Casey Cadwallader.

With Thierry Mugler: Couturissime then finishing its tour at the Brooklyn Museum, it was fitting that SHOWstudio’s 2022 Design Download was a pair of Mugler spiral jeans.

Inclusive casting and design were hallmarks of Casey Cadwallader’s time at Mugler. His spiral cut is said to flatter a range of body types. According to SHOWstudio:

“As seen on Bella Hadid and the crème de la crème of street style stars alike, the Mugler Spiral construction lends itself to all body shapes and sizes, in keeping with Cadwallader’s desire to create a democratic fantasy where Mugler exists both on the street and the red carpet.

A perennial design, the spiral-cut jeans were shown as part of an all-denim look in the Spring 2021 Mugler collection.

The next season, black light highlighted the spiral seaming detail on the runway:

Emilia Clarke wore a high waisted version of the Mugler spiral jeans on the cover of Wonderland magazine:

This edition of SHOWstudio’s free pattern series also had an augmented reality component. The Mugler Design Download competition saw a trio of digital fashion submissions “turned into AR fashion wearables by DRESSX, the largest metafashion retailer, and uploaded for the public to try on via their app.”

The pattern download comes in A4 sheets. A large-format copy-shop version is also included.
