The fashion world is buzzing with anticipation as Nicolas Di Felice, the creative director of Courrèges, has been announced as the next guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier.
This unique collaboration, established in 2020, sees a new designer reinterpret Gaultier's legacy each season. Di Felice, known for his revival of the space-age aesthetic at Courrèges, brings a bold and futuristic sensibility that aligns perfectly with Gaultier's own history of breaking boundaries. Jean Paul Gaultier himself is enthusiastic about the choice, praising Di Felice's creativity and eager to see his interpretation of the iconic Gaultier style.
This collaboration promises a fascinating meeting of minds. While Gaultier is renowned for his theatrical and subversive pieces, Di Felice leans towards a more practical and wearable aesthetic at Courrèges. It will be intriguing to see how he blends these seemingly contrasting styles. The highly anticipated collection will be unveiled at the next Paris Couture Week, scheduled for June 24th to 27th. Fashion enthusiasts are eager to see how Di Felice will utilise Gaultier's extensive archives and reinterpret the brand's DNA for a new generation.
This guest designer concept has injected fresh energy into the Jean Paul Gaultier brand since Gaultier's retirement from runway shows in 2020. Di Felice joins a prestigious list of designers who have previously taken the helm, including Simone Rocha, Olivier Rousteing, and Haider Ackermann.
We wait in high anticipation to see what Nicolas Di Felice will create for Jean Paul Gaultier. A collaboration that promises to be one of the highlights of the upcoming Couture Week.
