Renowned fashion house Mugler has announced the appointment of Miguel Castro Freitas as its new creative director, ushering in a fresh chapter for the brand. With an impressive career spanning roles at Sportmax, Dries Van Noten, and Christian Dior Couture, Freitas will officially assume his new role on April 1st. His debut collection for Mugler is set to be unveiled at the upcoming Paris Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2026 season.

Danièle Lahana-Aidenbaum, Global President of Mugler Fashion and Fragrances, praised Freitas for his deep connection to the house’s identity, emphasizing that his creative vision and extensive knowledge of Mugler’s heritage made him the natural choice. Similarly, Adrian Corsin, General Manager of Mugler Fashion, highlighted Freitas’s exceptional talent in tailoring and couture craftsmanship, qualities that will drive the brand’s evolution.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins in 2004 and originally from Portugal, Freitas has built a distinguished career with stints at fashion powerhouses like Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Lanvin. Interestingly, his background also mirrors that of Mugler’s founder, Manfred Thierry Mugler, as both began their journeys with a passion for dance.

“It is an honor to join the spectacular house of Mugler,” Freitas expressed. “Mr. Mugler was one of the greatest couturiers of the 20th century, redefining the power and boundaries of fashion. I am thrilled to bring my own vision, story, and emotion to this monumental legacy, working alongside the talented teams at the house.”

With his creativity, technical expertise, and profound respect for Mugler’s pioneering spirit, Miguel Castro Freitas is set to embark on an exciting journey. His appointment has ignited anticipation across the fashion industry, as many eagerly await how he will reinterpret and innovate upon the brand’s iconic legacy in the modern fashion landscape.
