Jean Paul Gaultier Corset Skirt

This striking black “gaine” (corset) mini skirt by Jean Paul Gaultier embodies the designer’s avant-garde vision and signature body-conscious tailoring.

Crafted from structured fabric with a satin effect, the skirt is defined by its high-rise, figure-sculpting cut and dramatic lace-up details with metal eyelets on the front and sides, evoking the lingerie-inspired aesthetic that made Gaultier famous.

The paneled construction enhances its fitted silhouette, while the short, slightly curved hem delivers a bold statement look.

This piece dates from the late 1990s to early 2000s and is a collectible archive example of Gaultier’s mastery of mixing fetish references, French couture skill, and modern sensuality.
