JEAN PAUL GAULTIER
"JEAN PAUL GAULTIER" 90's Geometric lace design tailored vest
We present to you artistic masterpieces from JEAN PAUL GAULTIER, a brand that dominated the 1980s and is now known as a maverick in the fashion world, and continues to gain more and more fans.
This exquisite piece features a delicate lace motif all over the front, and the refined look of tailored clothing and decorative nuances blend quietly together to create beautiful three-dimensional shadows.
Firstly, in terms of its age, the inner tag reads "Jean Paul GAULTIER/monsieur" and the label design is embroidered in pale beige on a diagonally ridged black background, matching the design of the "monsieur" line, which was responsible for men's tailoring. The lace on the front and the dotted jacquard lining on the back also give a strong sense of the atmosphere of the early to mid-1990s, so this particular item can be said to be placed in the context of "90s Gaultier monsieur".
The exterior has a slightly deep V-zone and large scallops (waves) at the front, giving a soft rhythm to the chest area, while the panel design with plain suiting fabric sandwiched on both sides clearly brings out the presence of the lace, creating a quiet contrast at the heart of the outfit.
The geometric lace made up of linked circles is just the right thickness and not too transparent, so it blends well with both bare skin and fabric, and the cutaway-style hemline, which is slightly pointed at the tip, emphasises the vertical flow.
The front is covered with a continuous lace-like placket, which blocks out light that can obstruct the view while maintaining a beautiful surface, making it look neat even when layered over a jacket. The waist has a pocket that is integrated with the lace, ensuring practicality without interrupting the decoration, which can be said to be a clever design.
The back is lined with a fine dotted jacquard, which provides a smooth feel against the skin and a comfortable fit.The back belt can be adjusted to lightly secure the waist, so the look can be easily changed depending on the thickness of the innerwear, making it valuable for everyday use.
The essence of this vest is a typical Gaultier concept of incorporating "decoration" into the framework of tailoring from the outset, harmonizing the elegance of lace with the structure of menswear on the same plane, giving it an intellectual mood without leaning too heavily on sweetness, and it can be said to be an added value that allows you to experience at hand the significance of the monsieur line, which supported the renewal of gender expression in the 1990s. For those who want to place a strong individuality in a quiet atmosphere, or who seek an outfit that speaks through the "difference" of texture, this is a piece that can be used as a core piece in your wardrobe for a long time.
In terms of styling, we recommend a minimalist look with a simple shirt and straight trousers, allowing the shadows of the lace to take centre stage, or pairing a high-quality knit with a long skirt or wide pants to create a contrast in volume, carefully accentuating the flow and vertical lines.
Please take this opportunity.
