Mr. Gaultier’s presence at the Balmain show in Paris last week might have been a clue. The news has just been announced this Monday, March 7. The creation of the next Haute Couture collection of Jean Paul Gaultier will be entrusted to Olivier Rousteing who is currently the artistic director of Balmain. Here’s everything you need to know regarding this highly anticipated new collaboration.

What lies ahead for the next collection by Olivier Rousteing and Jean Paul Gaultier?

Following in the footsteps of Chitose Abe and Glenn Martens’ Fall-Winter 2021-2022 collection for Spring-Summer 2022 last January, now it’s Olivier Rousteing’s turn reinterpret house codes Jean Paul Gaultier.

It is not surprising to find the designer on this project, as he is very fond of collaborations, especially for Balmain. The house thus continues its line of collaboration, which was established in January 2020 when Jean Paul Gaultier left. The French creator, Olivier Rousteing, will have the collection for the Autumn/Winter 2022-2023 season next July, during Parisian Haute Couture week. The parade will be an opportunity to express your experimental aesthetic and for a house that inspired him in the 90s. You can’t miss this fashion event for anything.
