The Wardrobe Identities Pre-Collection SS26 by Miguel Castro Freitas







Dec 2025
Mugler presents The Wardrobe Identities Pre-Collection SS26, a fashion campaign that captures sharp, sculptural tailoring through a series of editorial portraits. Under the creative direction of Miguel Castro Freitas, the project leans into minimalist studio environments and warm, polished aesthetics to frame the collection's focus on structured silhouettes and intricate metallic accents. Photographer Reto Schmid utilises soft light and clean compositions to highlight the fluidity of draped satin alongside the rigid forms of wool mini dresses and tailored blazers. Styling by Robbie Spencer incorporates detailed accessories, from crystal chest brooches to opera-length leather gloves, against a backdrop of architectural concrete and wood-paneled walls. The visual narrative is further shaped by hair styling from Louis Ghewy, makeup by Lauren Aiello, and manicures by Alex Feller, with model Libby Bennett appearing as the central figure. Beyond apparel, the collection is documented through surreal tabletop still-lifes, utilising hard light to contrast ornate jewellery against everyday dinner settings.
