Jean Paul Gaultier Resort
2013
A Jean Paul Gaultier pre-collection is typically based on the
house’s iconic classic styles, so for resort, a nautical and le smoking theme
ran throughout. What was new, however, was the fluidity of the looks- even
shown on the more tailored pieces, such as a tuxedo jacket with an asymmetric
collar and lapels that draped like a scarf, and jersey pants that flowed like
an Indian sarong. Fittingly, an India feel was also evident, demonstrated with
red or striped silk jumpsuits, cut so wide they looked like caftan dresses, not
to mention the turbans that topped every look.
