Introducing Vintage Fashion Stylists and Gaultier Fans
This website started as a record of my vintage Junior Gaultier clothes, but due to the amazing people I’ve come into contact with, all sharing a love of Jean Paul Gaultier’s work, I’ve decided to introduce some of them to you!

“By 1989 I was a regular at Gaultier’s boutique in Via Della Spiga, in the luxury ‘quadrilatero’ area of Milano. I wasn’t in any way a good customer, I went there regularly to browse and rarely had the funds to buy.
I bought a number of pieces in the leopard print, the leggings are gone, as are most of the rest, except for the trucker jacket and the jeans.”

“I have wanted these boots since I first saw them on the runway. I never saw them in NYC and for years and years, I kept looking for them and hoping that someday they would appear at a resale shop or on eBay.
I had to wait until the pandemic (for someone that was my shoe size!) to clear their closet, and they were in such fantastic shape that I felt they were meant to come my way.”
Whether collecting or investing in Jean Paul Gaultier vintage fashion, particularly Junior Gaultier, this page introduces you to sustainable fashion stylists who are masters of reimagining and restyling existing wardrobe items, as well as promoting practices such as mending, repairing, swapping, and renting. These people understand their wardrobes and hopefully, encourage us to nurture an emotional connection with our clothes. People’s history with their clothes is what this blog is all about.
