Editor's Note
“What society wants to hide, Jean Paul Gaultier shows off with pride!”
Jean Paul Gaultier's grandmother possessed a closet brimming with corsets, recounting how she would take a sip of vinegar before donning one, allowing her stomach to contract for tighter laces. A widow dressed exclusively in black, she once inadvertently stepped out into the street wearing only lingerie, having forgotten to don her skirt over her slip. These anecdotes, unveil the intriguing details of Gaultier's upbringing, akin to a tapestry of clues hinting at his future creative endeavours.
Femme then emerged as one of Jean Paul Gaultier's pioneering endeavours. Witnessing the subversive allure of corsets featured prominently in Femme serves as a testament to Gaultier's bold artistic vision and his penchant for challenging conventional boundaries from the outset of his career. This corset skirt seemingly pays homage to this legacy.
