90s Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Faces’ Single Line Mesh Longsleeve Shirt

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.

 

Exemplifying Jean Paul Gaultier’s incredibly unique approach to the fashion circuit, this mesh longsleeve features a series of single-line drawings atop a black base. Comprised of interlocking faces and scribbles, white lines harshly contrast the dark-toned base, in pair with a skin fitting cut. Draping down the torso and either sleeve, this graphic is entirely authentic to Gaultier’s masterful design, fitting a size medium in pristine condition throughout.
