This piece is a reflection of the aesthetics of Jean Paul Gaultier's archive pieces from the late 90s to the early 2000s.
The sheer material is layered with stripes, and the "bubble" motif is a design that symbolizes Gaultier's consistent exploration of themes such as the body, water, and ephemerality.
His expression, which blurs the boundaries between fetishism and romance, reality and fantasy, is also evident in the front design with the lace-up specification, making it an art piece as well as a garment.
At the time, Gaultier redefined the relationship between "what is seen" and "what is hidden" using trompe-l'oeil and transparent materials, and continued to question the meaning of the body itself through fashion. This piece is an extension of that, with a strong conceptual nature hidden within the light textile.
In styling, it can be the main piece on its own, and it is also attractive that the impression can be freely changed by layering.
This is a collector's piece, a valuable archive item that embodies the philosophy and the times of the Jean Paul Gaultier brand.
