Mugler creative director Nicola Formichetti can multitask with the best of them. In 2012, the designer styled Lady Gaga, launched his Nicopanda streetwear line and guest edited an issue of Dazed & Confused . Somehow, on top of all that, he still found time to conceive six collections for Mugler and launch the brand’s first collection of luxury handbags.

Ranging from $1,050 to $18,000, the thirty new Spring ‘13 purse styles boast Formichetti’s sculptural, futuristic aesthetic. Structured top-handle satchels in a variety of leathers and exotic skins, like patent crocodile and rubber alligator, come with silver hardware accents shaped like talons, while evening clutches have a “weaponlike” appeal. The boxy ‘Agent’ bag (left), which, along with the rest of the collection, will be available in Barneys, Opening Ceremony and other select stores from February, has already made rounds on the celebrity circuit, having been spotted on the arms of Kim Kardashian and Gwen Stefani. Naturally, Formichetti’s keeping up the pace in 2013. Later this month, Mugler will present their Pre-fall collection and unveil a whole new batch of accessories.
