90s Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Sun’ Tribal Motif Pleated Blue Denim Jacket

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 its placement in runway fashion.

 

Debuting in the late 90s circa, this gorgeous denim jacket features an array of wildly intricate detailing. Atop a deep blue wash sits abstract patterning and henna-like symbolism, running down the torso, either sleeve and collar. On the underside, pleating is unexpectedly found, creating a highly unique depth-centric attribute when on body. Finalized with JPG branded metallic hardware and button-clasp pockets on the chest, this piece is a size small, and is in great condition throughout.
