Curator's Note

This dress is by Jean Paul Gaultier, dating to the 1990s. It depicts Western and Native American imagery, cattle skulls, chains, feathered headdresses and star motifs, wrapped asymmetrically around the body and finished with a folded ribbed knit collar at the shoulder. Through the 1990s, Gaultier repeatedly referenced different cultures and traditions, Native American, Maori, and other tribal motifs among them, across mesh tops, skirts and dresses, treating them as a recurring device within his ready-to-wear rather than a single season's theme.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Jean Paul Gaultier is a French fashion designer who launched his label in Paris in 1976, having begun his career as an assistant to Pierre Cardin. Dubbed the enfant terrible of French fashion, he built his aesthetic around subcultures the mainstream of fashion ignored, including the biker, the fetishist and the punk, and made the Breton sailor stripe a recurring signature of his own French heritage. He brought corsetry and lingerie onto the runway as structural elements and introduced men's skirts in 1984. The cone bra corset, which first appeared in his Spring/Summer 1989 collection, became globally recognised when Madonna wore it on the Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990. He presented his final haute couture show in 2020.
