Editor's Note
“When I started in fashion, I had already adopted the sailor-striped sweater as my uniform; that way, I wouldn't have to drive myself crazy trying to figure out what to wear.” - Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier's innovative use of stripes has had a profound impact on his brand image. By incorporating stripes into his designs, Gaultier has created a distinctive aesthetic that is instantly recognisable and synonymous with his name.
The use of stripes in his designs has created a visual language that speaks to Gaultier's unconventional and rebellious approach to fashion, as the stripe is now considered a socially acceptable pattern, whereas there was a time when wearing stripes would have marked a person as socially marginalised or outcast.
