This past January, the fashion world bid adieu to one of the all time greats — Jean Paul Gaultier. Announcing just a few days before his Spring 2020 Haute Couture presentation that it would be his last, Gaultier's final show was an all out extravaganza featuring everything from a mock funeral to Boy George.The whole affair was a fitting send off for a giant of the industry, but Gaultier's abrupt retirement still left lingering questions about the future of the brand.
Gaultier went further to explain that the first designer taking part in the project would be none other thanChitose Abe."I have a long held admiration for Jean Paul's unique vision of subversive femininity and his originality, both of which I've strived towards in my work since the beginning," Abe said of the partnership in a statement."It's a true honour to be given the opportunity to be custodian of his house as the first designer of this project.
"I admire her work, we have many things in common creatively and a similar vision of fashion," Gaultier says of the announcement."I am glad to give her the complete freedom." The Gaultier Haute Couture announcement comes less than a month afterof the brand, alongside Founder Miuccia Prada in an unprecedented move for the fashion industry.
