Designer Jean Paul Gaultier French

Not on view

A sailor's middy is now a torn piece of leather. Gaultier uses the ripping less as process the way Kawakubo does and more as narrative. He turns the crisp sailor of the heroic H.M.S. Pinafore into the louch Cocteau sailor, somewhere between a leather bar and On the Town.
