Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show: heritage and modernity
The Jean Paul Gaultier show for the Spring-Summer 2025 season once again made its mark. Between audacity and homage, the collection celebrates the designer’s unique savoir-faire.
A parade under the sign of transmission
Since his departure in 2020, Jean Paul Gaultier has invited a different designer each season to reinterpret his world. For this Spring-Summer 2025 collection, Ludovic de Saint Sernin has taken up the challenge. He offers a modern, sculptural vision of Gaultier style, while respecting the house’s DNA.
The show took place in Paris, in a minimalist setting that left plenty of room for the creations. The public admired silhouettes with precise cuts and innovative materials.
Iconic references revisited
The collection plays with Jean Paul Gaultier’s emblematic codes. We find the structured corset, the reinvented marinière and the play of transparency. Ludovic de Saint Sernin adds a quirky touch with technical materials.
Strong, sculptural silhouettes
The guest designer relied on impressive volumes. Long dresses played on optical illusion, while jackets with pronounced shoulders made their presence felt.
Colors oscillate between neutral tones and metallic flashes, reinforcing the architectural effect of the silhouettes. Some outfits recall Gaultier’s early fashion shows, with a contemporary twist.
An enthusiastic audience and prestigious guests
The show’s front row was packed with celebrities who came to admire this new interpretation of Gaultier style. Aya Nakamura, Dua Lipa, Kylie Jenner and Rossy de Palma were among the guests, testifying to the house’s continuing influence.
The final ovation proves the success of this collaboration between tradition and innovation. Jean Paul Gaultier continues to inspire new generations of designers and fashion enthusiasts.
