An archive of one of Jean Paul Gaultier’s most spirited and experimental lines — where youth culture, irreverence, and couture instinct meet. Launched in 1988, Junior Gaultier distilled the designer’s signature language into something sharper, more immediate — a line that moved between street and runway, tradition and subversion, with unmistakable ease.
This archive brings together key collections, recurring themes and visual references that defined Junior Gaultier during the late 1980s and early 1990s. From religious symbolism to tattoo-inspired graphics, the line reflects a period of experimentation in fashion where identity, culture and design intersected in new ways.
