Fashion designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin stepped in to design Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture Wednesday at Paris Couture Week, reinterpreting the house’s legacy with a collection steeped in his signature aesthetic of eroticism, queer-musing, and fetish-inflected detailing.
The evening show honored Gaultier’s enduring themes — gender subversion, body-conscious silhouettes, and provocation — while layering in de Saint Sernin’s own stripped-down vision.
