Throughout the 1990’s Jean Paul Gaultier sampled a great deal with colleges of faces, presenting them on canvases using one or two distinctive tonal colors. Groupings of random crowds, politicians, celebrity’s, and in this case, roman statues, have been used by the designer to capture a particular emotion of a time on history. No two pairs of this arrangement of garments is exactly the same, with faces located at different places of the garment canvas, from one unit to the next.
The Denim Jacket and Bottoms features the all-over roman faces print on the denim, with several patches displaying Roman numerals in the consistent coloration of the ensemble. The buttons that cover the front closure and sleeves of the jacket, as well as the fly of the jeans, are crafted to resemble shields, as to got along with the Roman theme. The jacket is intended to be cropped and the bottoms are intended to be slightly high-waisted, in the traditional 90’s. Both pieces are in fantastic condition considering their age, with very little noticeable fading in the fabric.
