today to announce that he will present his final couture collection for fall 2020. “This show celebrating 50 years of my career will also be my last,” he wrote. The Wednesday night festivities are bound to bring forth smiles and tears. To mark the news, we are publishing Gaultier’s spring 1997 couture debut.
Gaultier truly believed in trickle-up, vernacular fashion. While other designers had referenced “the street” , Gaultier walked the walk. Not only did he elevate humble materials like denim and mesh, he saw beauty in places where others weren’t looking. From the start his castings were diverse in terms of age, race, and size, and on his runways models mixed with and “real” people.
All of which is to say, Gaultier might’ve been an unlikely couturier, if not for his mega talent. For his debut, he revisited androgyny, one of his design signatures, and it made for a modern outing. “Gaultier has done unisex couture, which is probably the newest take on the old métier yet,” Vogue said at the time.
