This gorgeous Gaultier jacket is from his spring 1994 collection. Beautiful golden tan light-weight cotton fabrication, with mesh lining and 18th century cut. Rose colored abalone shell button closures adorn the center, sleeves and back of this garment giving it a nice weight and wonderful twinkling sound. This jacket also has two large pockets at the front and darts on the backside that flare out giving this jacket some volume. Throw it on over jeans and a tee or button it up and wear it as a mini dress. So stunning!

From Vogue:

“A startling vision of cross-cultural harmony,” is how Vogue summed up Jean Paul Gaultier’s Les Tatouages collection of Spring 1994. The show was an exhilarating, sometimes bewildering hodgepodge romp of references that included men in skirts, denim cut in eighteenth-century shapes, corsetry, Joan of Arc–style armor, a punkish graffiti print, and a tattoo-currency motif (that echoed one that Martin Margiela, a former protégé of Gaultier, showed in 1989). The top notes were tribal, Indian, and African, which, like the much-commented-on faux piercings, reflected an abiding interest in “global village chic” that would go on to define Gaultier’s work for decades.
