90s ‘Creation of Adam’ Printed Knit Cardigan
Jean Paul Gaultier mid 90's mainline 'Creation of Adam' Printed Knit Cardigan. JPG in the mid 90s explored the application of renaissance era graphics on his signature 'tattoo tees' and knits. This knit features an odd juxtaposition of a noir tech-punk chest graphic complemented by Michael Angelo's "Creation of Adam" painting on the back, arms and reversible inside. Painting's graphic is applied directly on the knit while the tech, 'horned man', motif is printed on a fabric which is sewn over the knit base. JPG, a strong pioneer of unisex clothing, has a "Maille" line, outside of "Maille Femme", which features mainline knits able to be comfortably worn by both men and women. As JPG ripened in the late 90's he pulled away from the "Enfant Terrible" and started to hone his eccentric creative direction into something more full and bright, but sound and percise. This eventually led his journey to Hermes succeeding Margiela's years at the house. 9/10 condition, a very mild mothhole in the shoulderblade. Size L, fits loosely a mens M-L, XL fitted.$510 -
“JPG” Utility Bondage Pants
"JPG" by Jean Paul Gaultier Utility Bondage Pants in black/grey. Jean Paul Gaultier may need some reintroduction as much of his work seems to be overlooked by modern men's fashion enthusiasts despite his massive contribution to men's & unisex fashion. Gaultier has zero formal training or schooling in tailoring but apprenticed under his grandmother which led him to be Pierre Cardin's assistant in the 70's, then soon after released his solo collection in '76 captivating the voice of what French critics call the "Enfant Terrible" movement. JPG is a pioneer, along with Westwood, of high fashion appropriating youth street culture and garments on the catwalk. 1985, at the peak of Gaultier's reign, came the signature man-skirts and sailor pants. Models were typically younger or older than conventional models, sometimes riddled with tattoos or body modifications. Some models were rather androgynous which displayed JPG's unisex garments fittingly, a catalyst to the JPG by Gaultier unisex line in the 90's. Finally, in recent years and his final project outside of his own label is receiving the baton from Margiela at Hermes, heading the house from 03-10. Buckled multi material black pants with suspended pockets. Multiple utility cargo pockets. Adjustable waist buckle and drawstring. Ankle Zips. 8/10 condition but missing the back buckle as it was a walking constraint to the wearer. Fits a W32$500
