Jean Paul Gaultier Tops, Skirts & Denim
One of fashion’s true originals, Jean Paul Gaultier has spent almost fifty years rewriting the rules. Founded in Paris in 1976, the house earned its ‘enfant terrible’ reputation by challenging convention at every turn, playing with gender, subverting couture codes and turning underwear into outerwear. From the cone corset to the Breton stripe, its imagery is woven into the language of modern fashion, defining countless pop-culture moments and remaining instantly recognisable the world over.
After Gaultier stepped away from the runway in 2020, the house entered a new chapter, and in 2025 Dutch designer Duran Lantink, a winner of the LVMH Prize, was appointed creative director. His collections carry Gaultier’s spirit forward with fresh audacity: trompe l’oeil face prints, playful ‘Smoking Women’ motifs, sculptural ruching and reworked denim that feel at once irreverent and utterly covetable.
Parlour X first stocked Jean Paul Gaultier many years ago, and we could not be more excited to welcome the house back to the edit. It is a homecoming for a label that has always sat at the intersection of art, provocation and impeccable French craft, and one whose new era feels perfectly at home alongside our most directional designers.
This season’s selection spans the label’s cheeky printed baby tops and maxi skirts, including the Face Print and Smoking Women styles, alongside gathered burgundy tailoring, the elegant Gathered Long Sleeve Maxi Dress, and statement denim that runs from panel leggings to the oversized Face Print shirt and the Upside Down Face Print skirt.
For clients who dress with wit, confidence and an eye for fashion history in the making, Jean Paul Gaultier is a landmark addition to the Parlour X edit, pieces to be treasured, styled and returned to for years to come.
