90s Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Gothic’ Religious Mesh Long Sleeve Shirt

Founding his menswear label years later in 1984, Jean Paul Gaultier was plagued as “l’enfant terrible” for his outlandish, inexcusable designs. Consciously reconstructing our vision of beauty, he experimented without remorse, drawing inspiration from from taboo fetishes and romanticizing femininity in the menswear realm. Utilizing rebellious textiles, Gaultier conveyed his message through inventive mediums, popularizing the mesh full print silhouette. Stomping on guidelines in pursuit of creative expression, Gaultier is now hailed as a fashion forefather and true Magnus opus in his field.

 

Debuting in the late 90s era, this gorgeous mesh top comes in a gothic palette. Featuring a serious of religious imagery, stained glasses sits in the background of what appears to be two angels, a skull adorned with rays of light, and roots spiralling downwards from the X-ray of a woman’s pelvis. Leaching down either sleeve, a Nobel figure is plastered atop the wearer’s arms, finalizing the top with a thin, skin fitting mesh base. Fitting a men’s medium, this piece is in pristine condition throughout.
