After several years of guest designers, the Jean-Paul Gaultier brand has recruited its first permanent artistic director in the person of Duran Lantink. It is up to this champion of circular and subversive fashion to help redefine the fashion offer of the famous Parisian fashion house, owned by the Puig group.
