JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE - Lot 23
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAUTE COUTURE Salopette en faux denim et perles "Courson", collection "Boutons", Printemps-Eté 2003 A fine pair of sable-beaded faux-denim dungarees "Courson", "Buttons" collection, Spring-Summer 2003 Look no 26, unlabelled apart from the hat, the dungarees of pale blue silk crepe, couched and embroidered with miniscule beads in shades of blue and green to imitate distressed/worn denim, of loose cut, the trouser hems with turn-ups; with Irish crochet blouse/body with pendant blossoms to the short sleeves; with straw hat and pair of long brown leather evening gloves, the blouse approx. 86cm, 34in (5) This is the unique defilé/runway model, It took 358 hours to complete. Vogue's Sarah Mower reported "Nobody keeps the flag of haute couture flying quite like Jean Paul Gaultier. Immaculate tailoring, aching beauty and a playful sense of the absurd - all these were whipped up into a collection that reached the wildest shores of aspirational fashion." As Jean-Paul Gaultier himself said, "My clothes are lifted from life itself ". The "Courson" (a commune in the Calvados region of France) ensemble is a perfect example of that. At first glance it appears to be a just an old pair of dungarees - just perfect for picking grapes in. The designer's cheeky sense of humour is illustrated by the inclusion of masterful trompe l'oeil pieces. Upon closer inspection, the tired-looking denim is in fact millions of coloured glass beads hand embroidered onto silk and is high luxury. The shirt worn below it is of the fines Irish crochet lace with three dimensional flowerheads and is an astonishing demonstration of the skills of his atelier. Mouna Ayoub wore this ensemble to attend the Annual Cannes Film Festival, (without the straw hat) 15th May, 2003. Provenance: The Mouna Ayoub Collection Image Droits Réservés
