Jean Paul Gaultier DENIM JACKETS

Paris-born designer Jean Paul Gaultier has long been regarded as fashion’s enfant terrible, a reputation he carried until stepping down from his namesake label in 2020. A self-taught ingénue who began working under fellow experimentalist Pierre Cardin at just 18, Gaultier has consistently defied gender and genre. The label’s playful, avant-garde spirit lives on under the current creative direction of Belgian designer Duran Lantink, a provocateur in his own right. Echoing his predecessor’s blend of humor and glamour, Lantink’s Jean Paul Gaultier is defined by sculptural silhouettes, trompe l’oeil patterns, and irreverent accessories.
