JEAN PAUL GAULTIER BURGUNDY MINI DRESS WITH BLACK TULLE SKIRT
Resurrection is excited to offer a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier burgundy mini dress with a dramatic black tulle skirt. The highly structured silhouette combines a fitted corset-inspired bodice with an unexpectedly voluminous, sheer skirt, creating a striking contrast between restraint and movement.
The burgundy bodice is fitted through the waist and features wide shoulder straps, a straight neckline trimmed with sheer black tulle, and a row of black buttons running down the center front. Intricate seaming creates a corset-like structure through the bust and waist, while the short skirt is finished with a delicate black tulle ruffle. A second layer of gathered black tulle extends dramatically from the hips, forming a long, transparent overskirt that falls well below the mini hem. The back reveals a beautifully gathered corset-like construction beneath the shoulder straps, allowing the tulle skirt to billow away from the body.
The design speaks directly to Gaultier's long-standing fascination with corsetry, lingerie, and the transformation of traditional undergarments into outerwear. His work repeatedly explored the tension between structured foundation garments and sheer, revealing layers; the Metropolitan Museum describes Gaultier's corset dresses as deliberately exposing and reinterpreting traditional foundation apparel. His 1990s collections similarly played with historical dress, corsetry, transparency, and theatrical silhouettes, while his Spring 1997 collection was particularly notable for convertible garments and the interplay between lingerie and outerwear.
An exceptional Archive piece that captures Gaultier's ability to transform the corset into something simultaneously romantic, provocative, and theatrical. The deep burgundy bodice paired with the sweeping black tulle creates an especially dramatic silhouette, making this a standout example of Gaultier's irreverent approach to femininity and historical dress. Carefully Curated by Resurrection as part of our luxury vintage collection.
