Since 1976, Jean Paul Gaultier has been pushing boundaries, turning the runway into a stage for inclusivity, diversity, and playful rebellion. The “Enfant Terrible” of fashion, Gaultier is so much more than just a designer—he's a provocateur, an iconoclast, overseeing collisions of different genres and disobediently bending social conventions, even when it was frowned upon to do so. "I love to blend clothes, people, social classes, genres... and have fun with it," says Gaultier, capturing the audacious spirit of his design.
Gaultier’s collections are infused with irreverence, humour, and a celebration of everything unconventional, so it’s no wonder they were embraced with open arms when popular culture began to tap into growing anti-establishment sentiment in the ‘90s. Most notable would be Madonna’s iconic cone bra, showcased on the first leg of the Blonde Ambition tour. You may also be familiar with the much-loved aromas of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume, with staple fragrances like Le Male and Le Beau bringing the Gaultier name into the mainstream.
We could muse about the Parisian Provocateur’s legacy until the end of time, but with UrlfreezeShops’s selection of Jean Paul Gaultier womenswear, you can see for yourself. Keep an eye out for the nautical French Breton stripe, a motif rooted in Gaultier’s childhood and now a high-fashion staple, reworked with crystals, patterns, and clever trompe-l’oeil effects on the brand’s signature dresses. Discover printed graphics of Paris’ raunchy Pigalle district and tattoo-style art on rule breaking mesh long sleeve tops, or take the brand’s convention-crushing sentiment poolside with a daring range of bikinis.
