JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HIGH WAISTED BLACK SATIN SKIRT

Sale price$850.00

Resurrection is excited to offer a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier high-waisted black satin skirt. This striking Archive piece exemplifies Gaultier’s ability to transform classic wardrobe foundations through unexpected construction, intricate surface detailing, and a highly considered silhouette.

Cut from lustrous black satin, this long skirt sits high at the natural waist and falls into a softly flared, ankle-length silhouette. The waistband is finished with a subtle contrasting satin trim, echoed again near the hem. A central satin-covered button placket runs vertically from the waist, while the body is decorated with irregular, organic tonal appliqué or stitched panels that travel across the skirt in abstract, almost vine-like formations. The layered construction continues into a broad black satin hem, giving the piece beautiful movement while maintaining its elongated, elegant line.

The design speaks to Gaultier’s distinctive approach throughout the 1990s, when traditional tailoring, lingerie references, unusual fabric treatments, and deconstructed construction were frequently brought together. Archival examples from the period demonstrate his experimentation with satin, high-waisted silhouettes, paneling, and unconventional skirt constructions, while museum and auction records document the breadth of his work with sculptural and highly constructed skirts.

An exceptional Archive skirt, this piece captures the sophisticated yet unconventional sensibility that makes vintage Jean Paul Gaultier so compelling. A beautifully versatile addition to a collection of carefully selected luxury vintage.
