Product Description
An exceptional late 90s Jean Paul Gaultier Soleil piece, made in Italy from layers of sheer deep-violet nylon mesh. The fabric features oversized tonal polka dots throughout, contrasted by elaborate gathered, ruched and cascading ruffles that create extraordinary texture and movement. Designed with Gaultier’s signature playful approach to proportion and styling, the stretch construction allows the piece to be worn high on the body as a dramatic strapless mini dress, as photographed. Layers of semi-sheer mesh fall into an asymmetric, sculptural silhouette with beautiful volume. Finished with the iconic orange Jean Paul Gaultier Soleil label and original Japanese-market care labels.
About The Brand
Jean-Paul Gaultier is a renowned French fashion designer born in 1952. He had previously worked for Cardin, Jacques Esteirel, and Patou before launching his own label in 1976. Gaultier is famously known as the "enfant terrible de Paris" due to his unconventional fashion choices. He refrained from following the late 1970s trend for natural fibres and instead opted for imitation leather, artificial fur, nylon, viscose, metal, and rubber in his collections. Gaultier's designs are influenced by abstraction, surrealism, 1950s kitsch, and London street style, especially punk. His unique combinations of styles, such as pairing biker leather jackets with ballet tutus, have garnered widespread attention. Some of his notable collections include corsets, conical bras, and velvet corset skirts, along with bracelets made from cat food tins.
