Jean Paul Gaultier Woman
A Streetcar Named Desire, Casablanca, The Godfather: there are many great dramas, but none are as iconic as the theatrical works of Jean Paul Gaultier. Launching his eponymous label in 1976 with gender-bending designs that earned him the title of enfant terrible of the fashion world, Jean Paul Gaultier continues to reinvent classic womenswear silhouettes with unconventional takes on costume, uniform and dancewear. Think corsets, trench coats, and blazers that toe the line between masculine and feminine expression, with boudoir-inspired convertible outerwear pieces and archetypal sailor styles transcending each collection. That’s not to forget the unexpected twists the designer is famous for, or the subtle nods to the streets of working-class Paris where Gaultier draws most of his influences.
