JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE - Lot 2
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE Bombers en taffetas kaki et kilt trompe-l'oeil brodé écossais, collection "Élégance Parisienne", Automne-Hiver 1998-1999 A fine Scottish inspired ensemble, "Parisian Elégance" collection, Autumn-Winter 1998-1999 Look no 21, comprising black organza tartan 'kilt' entirely embroidered and beaded by Maison Lesage in red and black plaid patterns with yellow and white beaded bars, the faux front closure edged in beaded fringes, kick splits to front sides, the rear hem formed from five floating panels which give the impression of pleats, over-beaded invisible zip closure to side waist; with khaki/pink changeant taffeta bomber jacket, the full sleeves with integral/attached gloves, vented front pockets, the broad elasticated waistband overlaid with panels of silk to form ribs, similar collar, with collar and lining of red fox fur; and a simple ribbed-knit cashmere vest, jacket chest 102cm, 42in, skirt waist 66cm, 26in (3) It took 68 hours to make this ensemble excluding the lavish embroidery. Jean-Paul Gaultier has always loved tartan. At first glance this appears to be an 'ordinary' kilt and jacket. It is only upon close inspection that the supposedly woven wool kilt is revealed to be of breathtakingly complex Maison Lesage embroidered beadwork. Weighing more than 10kg, it has beaded fringes and beautifully concealed closures with the beaded plaid pattern exactly matched. The khaki bomber jacket is shot with pink silk which changes with the light; for extra warmth it is lined in fox fur and in case gloves should be required- they are attached and cut in one with the sleeves. However, it is unlikely that anything as luxurious as this has ever been spied on the Scottish Highlands! Provenance: The Mouna Ayoub Collection Image Droits Réservés
