jean paul gaultier

As part of a project in which Jean Paul Gaultier entrusts his couture house to a different designer each season, Olivier Rousteing was invited to be the exclusive designer for this collection. The “open letter of love to Jean Paul” celebrated the designer’s boundary-breaking history, with inspirations ranging from a 1994 tattoo collection and the iconic Le Male fragrance and its tin can packaging to corsets, stripes, repurposed denim and Madonna wearing Gaultier at the 1992 amfAR gala.
