Unveiled at Paris menswear last week via a presentation at the immense Jean Paul Gaultier HQ. The SS15 menswear collection is inspired by Memphis – taking on board the ancient hieroglyphics also seen in the womenswear cruise collection and the essence of Vegas meets Elvis but with the signature heritage of Gaultier woven in. The collection features the classic but reinterpreted Breton stripes and lace, the darker and more traditional aesthetic but also waves of mustard and blue evoking a sense of Egyptian summer. One of my favourite pieces is the pleated black kilt with shirt arm wrap arounds.
The presentation was synchronised with a short film directed by Early Films featuring models Botond Cseke and Jester White.
