Designer Jean Paul Gaultier French
Not on view
Jean Paul Gaultier's signature design element, the lace-up corset, here surprises the viewer by being fused into a robust denim jacket, a garment signaling utility. Gaultier's postmodern, magpie approach to fashion design blurs the boundaries between gendered dress codes and between lingerie and outerwear. The resulting style is typical of the gender-bending fashions found in metropolitan nightlife.
