90s Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Devil’s Hand’ Gothic Tattoo Longsleeve

Jean Paul Gaultier is a French designer who has been pushing societal boundaries since founding in 1982. Over four consecutive decades, he’s consciously reconstructed our ideals of masculine beauty, experimenting with fashion’s digitized future while paying homage to the past. Utilizing rebellious textiles like skin-fitting mesh, he’s unapologetically sexualized the virile physique, rewriting the industry rules while stomping on preconceived notions. Using graphic design as his muse, Jean Paul Gaultier has single handedly altered our perceptions of the human silhouette and it’s placement in runway fashion.

 

Debuting in the late 90s era, this longsleeve top exemplifies Gaultier’s unique understanding of design. In stride with his infamous ‘tattoo’ tops, this skin-fitting longsleeve conforms to one’s profile, simulating gothic ink along the sleeves and torso. Pushing focus towards the so-called ‘Devil’s Hand’ he encompasses such with tribal detailing throughout, in a contrasting blood red and white palette. Tagged as a size medium, in pristine condition throughout.
