Following its partnerships with Glenn Martens and sacai's Chitose Abe, Jean Paul Gaultier has now joined forces with stylist Lotta Volkova on a new collection.
Volkova is known for her unique creative direction and aesthetic, having been one of the key names behind Vetements' breakthrough as the brand's in-house stylist. She has also worked with Demna for Balenciaga, in addition to Miu Miu's new direction with the ever-so-popular mini skirt sets.
Celebrating her work and style, Gaultier has tapped the creative on a campy, surrealist collection of garments. A range of dresses, tops and bikinis are given a "naked" treatment with women's bodies printed onto the pieces for a trompe l'œil effect. The theme continues on a series of dresses and bralette tops with spiky boobs for a "cone" look, as well as "S&M" jackets and skirts. Other standouts include a jacket with an open back, which is paired with loose-fitted trousers, and a cropped shearling jacket with puffed sleeves.
