Editor's Note
“Gaultier’s cone breast design: the peak of bold fashion”
Jean Paul Gaultier’s cone bra, first introduced in his Fall/Winter 1984-1985 Barbès collection, remains one of his most iconic designs. This dress embodies Gaultier’s daring, subversive approach to fashion. The gathered fabric around the bust creates a sensual, sculptural detail, while the choice of fabric drapes beautifully, following the body’s natural lines and allowing for fluid movement. The bold red hue enhances the striking design. The most provocative feature is the cone detail on the bust, which can be pulled outward to create an exaggerated point or left as styled on the mannequin, showcasing Gaultier's signature blend of rebellion and refinement.
