Jean Paul Gaultier presented his first individual collection in Paris in 1976 and founded his eponymous house in 1982. His work became known for treating tailoring, corsetry, mesh and provocation as one vocabulary rather than separate categories. This edit keeps that tension visible in sharp wool, printed jersey and body-conscious silhouettes.

Our honest take
The brand is strongest when its signature stays visible without being over-explained. If you take one thing away, choose the piece that makes that signature part of your own daily rhythm.
