Meanwhile, in Paris, Jean Paul Gaultier has done it again. He just put online another ingenious ready-to-wear collection that is pure awesomeness. Is it for Spring Summer 2025 or Fall Winter 2024-2025? Who knows! The season doesn’t matter when you can shop for sheer brilliance online right now.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Jean Paul Gaultier. I love him and have been secretly collecting some of his exquisite pieces. His talent and creative mind never cease to amaze me. This time, I stumbled upon another incredible discovery: “Denim Haute Jeanerie – Tailored in Blue,” complete with an Eiffel Tower motif. I adored every piece of this “Haute Jeanerie.” Truly, nothing could describe this collection better than its wonderfully made-up name.
“Fashion Fiction” is another delightful curiosity from Jean Paul Gaultier. Let’s dive into its enchanting sections: Denim Haute Jeanerie, Pigalle Prints, Mariniere (and its twist), Eyes and Lips in black and red, Trompe L’Oeil, and Ecorche in red and blue.
Denim Haute Jeanerie: Tailored in Blue
This section is a masterpiece of denim wizardry. Think asymmetric designs, humorous prints of women’s busts on men’s jackets, and impeccable haute tailoring. The standout piece? A denim Mariniere jacket, blending sophistication with a playful wink – “Haute Jeanerie -Frenchy finishing – Tailored in Blue”.
Pigalle Prints: Lights of Paris
Pigalle Prints are all about capturing the vibrant nightlife of Paris. Picture the Eiffel Tower and Pigalle district all lit up in red and blue, emblazoned on transparent skirts, tops, and dresses. It’s like wearing a piece of Parisian nightlife, right there on your body.
Mariniere: Nautical Nostalgia with a Twist
The Mariniere stripes have a special place in Gaultier’s heart, inspired by Gene Kelly’s sailor outfits from his childhood. This time, the classic stripes are printed on transparent fabric and layered over white dresses or tops. It’s a fresh, breezy take on a timeless look.
Eyes and Lips in Black and Red: Playful Drama
This part of the collection features a print of closed eyes on the front and lips on the back, all in striking black and red on transparent fabrics. It’s like wearing a secret, a little flirty wink from Gaultier himself.
Trompe L’Oeil: Fashion Trickery
Trompe L’Oeil is where Gaultier’s playful genius shines. Printed details on coats and pants create illusions that make you do a double-take. Are those pockets real? Is that button actually there? It’s fashion trickery at its finest.
Ecorche in Red and Blue: Anatomy Lesson in Fashion
Ecorche is the most avant-garde part of the collection, featuring prints of Gaultier’s anatomy in red and blue on transparent fabric. It’s bold, it’s a bit eerie, and it’s pure Jean Paul Gaultier. Wearing these pieces is like donning a lesson in human anatomy with a stylish twist.
Each section of the “Fashion Fiction” collection is a testament to Jean Paul Gaultier’s endless creativity and humor. For those of us who revel in his genius, these pieces are not just clothing—they are wearable art. The collection is available online now, so go ahead and treat yourself to a piece of fashion history. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
