‘The Shock of the Way’ — Jean Paul Gaultier Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways.” Jean Paul Gaultier built his method through the 1980s by collision: Breton stripes slammed against tulle, leather laid over lace, tartan spliced with chiffon. The shock was a tool, meant to pry open combinations the eye had ruled out. Creativity, in his hands, is mostly the nerve to put two things side by side that everyone agreed should stay apart.
