In the Summer of 1990, you could have given off those Tour de France vibes without having to climb the Alpe d’Huez, all thanks to Jean Paul!. This cycling jersey from the “Rap’sody in Blue” collection would have looked perfect in the club, as you danced to Adamski’s “Killer”, Snap!’s “The Power” or maybe whilst doing a bit of Voguing, courtesy of Madonna.
As a cyclist, I’m used to wearing tight lycra, but I’d have to pick my moment for wearing this out in public. I love the bold colour block design on this tight t-shirt which is emblazed with graphics, not unlike the sponsors’ logos on a professional cycling team’s jersey. I’ve emphasised this by teaming my cycling glasses and cycling shorts for the photo.
Some of the logos on this shirt reoccur throughout other garments from the Junior Gaultier line, including the “No. 1” which features as the entire design on a t-shirt that I also own, that is from the “Rhapsody in Blue” collection of S/S 1990.
The circular “JG” logo was used on items from the F/W 1989-90 “Fantomas” collection, where it was made to look like it was on the metal cap of a champagne cork, which is known as a muselet.
The motif with the star in the circle clearly looks like a bicycle cog and this too has cropped up on other JG articles of clothing, including a belt buckle, that is on my wishlist! The same goes for the “Junior Gaultier Star” image, which I’m pretty sure I’ve seen as a belt buckle.
Below, you’ll see that there was also a long-sleeved dress version of this design.
