For Spring/Summer 2010 Couture, Jean Paul Gaultier treated accessories like artifacts.
The collection was layered with stacked metal cuffs, armored gladiator boots, claw-like hand pieces, heavy jewelry, embellished gloves, ornate hats, and body jewelry that felt equal parts ancient warrior and sci-fi fantasy. Even the handbags were woven and sculptural, closer to objects than traditional accessories.
Inspired by Aztec references, tribal ornamentation, and Gaultier’s signature theatrical excess, the accessories completely overtook the runway.
Gaultier has always been superior at transforming each look into something between couture and costume.⚔️
